Why use half equations in oxidation and reduction?
Because oxidation and reduction reactions can be separated from each other in space by the use of at least two electrodes, oxidation occurring at the surface of one electrode and reduction at the surface of another.
What kind of change occurs when a compond is separated into its components?
A chemical change occurs because compound is two elements put together so when they are separated it forms a new substance.
What are the substances separated in crystallization?
For example salts can be separated by crystallization.
Solutions cannot be separated by what?
Solutions cannot be separated by sublimation.
Fe separated from Al physically?
Iron can be separated with an (electro)magnet.

Where are ores found?
Mined of metal ores depend on the position of the metal in electrochemical or activity series but metals can be extract through electrolysis and reduction process.
How does an electrolytic cell differ from a voltaic cell?
A Galvanic cell, or Voltaic cell, named after Luigi Galvani, or Alessandro Volta respectively, is an electrochemical cell that derives electrical energy from chemical reactions taking place within the cell. It generally consists of two different metals connected by a salt bridge, or individual half-cells separated by a porous membrane.An electrolytic cell decomposes chemical compounds by means of electrical energy, in a process called electrolysis; the Greek word lysis means to break up. The result is that the chemical energy is increased. Important examples of electrolysis are the decomposition of water into hydrogen and oxygen, and bauxite into aluminum and other chemicals.
Is it separated or separated?
Separated.
Can a compound be separated into its elements by filtration?
A compound has formed a more stable state than the elements by themselves. They released photons to the Universe in honor of this more stable configuration. Unless the "filter" is made of strands of energetic plasma, that can rip this more-stable configuration apart by supplying the lost "binding energy", no. The answer is "no", filtration cannot separate out elements.
What does disarticulated mean?
To become separated at the joints.To become separated at the joints.To become separated at the joints.To become separated at the joints.To become separated at the joints.To become separated at the joints.
How do thermos work?
A thermos works with principle of Physics that vacuum is a pure insulator of heat. Thermos is made of two containers separated by a vacuum space which acts as an insulator of heat. Also the surface of thermos will be glassy which in turn helps in reduction of heat loss.
How is sri lanka is separated from India?
Yes they are separated countries. They separated by the sea.
Is a peninsula a country that is separated from the mainland?
No, a peninsula is a landform that is surrounded by water on three sides and connected to a mainland. It is not a country, but a geographic feature characterized by its location and shape.
Is this how you spell separated or is this how you spell separated?
You have spelled both of these in the same way. However, yes, separated is the correct spelling.
Why is it so difficult to use a spanner to turn a rusty nut?
Normal rusting happens when iron or no-so-robust stainless-steel surface is exposed to moisture for a long time. Rust is basically iron oxidized to become ferrous oxide (Fe2O3), which has a larger volume than before oxidation. That means when the nut and bolt have a tight fit before oxidation, the expansion causes the nut and bolt to really press against one another, as if they become one. If the nut and bolt are lubricated with a little WD-40, oxidation will not happen so rapidly, and they can be easily separated with a spanner later. =================
