To separate the elements in a compound using electricity, one must first know that this is dangerous and should only be done by science professionals. First electrical currents are applied to the compound and then kept there until the compound separates. As the compounds heat up they will begin to separate.

Separate the elements of a compound?
Elements are listed in the periodic table. Each element has its individual atomic number and symbol. The atomic number is based on the number of protons within the nucleus of the atom. As of 2006 the table contained 117 chemical elements. 94 found naturally on earth and the rest are synthetic elements that have been produced artificially in particle accelerators.
How do you separate HCl and Mg?
well obviously, if: Hydrochloric acid + Magnesium -> Magnesium Chloride + Hydrogen I'd say you CAN separate the magnesium Chloride by using Electrolysis ( using direct current to separate a compound to decompose into elements), but the Hydrogen doesn't have to, because there is an element not a compound. If you are talking about how you can separate HCL and Mg by itself, then obviously you can't because it is already separated.
Is using electricity to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen a chemical change?
physical change
Can a compound be broken down by electricity?
yes, for example water (H2O) can be separated into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity in a process called electrolysis
Why is it easier to separate a mixture of iron and sulfur than to separate a compound of iron and sulfur?
because a mixture is physically combine while a compound is chemically combine thus make is eaiser for the mixture to separate using the technique magnetic separation.

A sentence using compound in it?
The elements created a compound when they combined. Compound fractures can be especially painful.
What are four rules of using commas?
Use a comma to separate items in a list. Use a comma before a coordinating conjunction in a compound sentence. Use commas to set off introductory elements in a sentence. Use commas to separate non-essential or parenthetical elements within a sentence.
Who first split the matter into its compound using electricity?
nicholoson and chalisle
What are two ways to seperate a compound?
one way is using a battery it takes to long but look up the explanation :) help,,
What is a combination of two or more elements called?
A combination of two or more elements is called a compound. These elements are held together by chemical bonds and can be separated using chemical reaction.
How do you determine the number of elements using the formula of a compound?
an element is a single substance while a compound is made up of multiple elements. Theirs no way to now how many elements form to make a compound... only through a microscope/
