What process would you use to separate chemicals in a compound?

Separating compound means Decompostion or Analysis Reaction Various Chemical Decopose my various meas for eg AgCl →light→ Ag + Cl2 CaCO3 →heat→ CaO + CO2 H2O →Electricity→ H2+O2 H2O2 →MnO2(Catalyst)→ H2 + O2 There are other various reaction. There is no specific Process to Decompose Chemical compound into its Constituent.


How do rags with oil based wood stain spontaneously catch fire?

the stain and the rag create a chemical reaction that causes it to rot and decompose very quiclky. this chemical reaction creates heat, and if it gets hot eanough, fire.


What is heat of reaction of Diphosphorus Pentasulfide?

If you wanted to, you could ask what the heat of formation is of a given compound such as diphosphorus pentasulfide, but if you want to know about a heat of reaction, you have to specify a reaction. A compound is not a reaction.


What is a heat reaction?

This the heat released during a chemical reaction.

When heat is increased does the chemical reaction speed up?

The effect of heat on a chemical reaction will depend on whether the chemical reaction is exothermic (producing heat), or endothermic (requiring an input of heat). If the reaction is endothermic, then adding heat will increase the speed, but the opposite is true for an exothermic reaction.


Is endothermic a chemical reaction?

Yes. A chemical reaction which absorbs heat during the reaction. The opposite to exothermic which releases heat during the reaction.


What type of reaction does potassium chloride have?

The compound contains the two elements Potassium and chlorine it is an exothermic chemical reaction because it releases heat energy when formed.


Two or more elements that combine as a result of a chemical reaction form?

A compound is formed. The process may require a certain amount of energy (heat) to react, or it may release energy in the form of heat.


Can a chemical reaction cause heat?

Yes, the signs of a chemical reaction are: gas, precipitation, heat, color change


What changes the rate of a chemical reaction or allows a chemical reaction to occur?

Heat?
