Ionic substance conducts when molten but decomposes?
i don't know, that's what i need to work out. I also don't know, bloody homework It has 12 letters, starts with E and ends with S After several hours of reading through dictionaries, browsing web pages and unfolding our brains me and my team of expert researchers came to the conclusion that the term we where looking for is.... Electrolysis
Is a solution a liquid that dissolves another substance?
No a solution is a liquid that has another substance dissolved in it.Added:When a solute ('the other substance') is dissolved in a solvent (liquid), this will result in a solution.
Two basic parts of a solution?
The solute and the solvent...you can tell them apart because thesolute is: in a solution a substance that is dissolved in a solvent andthe solvent is, in a solution the substance that dissolves a solute and makes up the largest percentage of a solution.
Why does the molten electrolyte contin cryolite?
They need to be free ions to have mobility to carry a charge and to conduct (so electricity can flow through). This is only possible in solution or in the molten state. It is possible to have an electrolyte in gas form under extreme conditions.
Metallic aluminum can be obtained by electrolysis of aluminum fluoride dissolved in molten k3alf6. what mass of aluminum is obtained at the cathode if a 5 ampere current is applied for 4 hours?
Also How many grams and what volume of fluorine (@ STP) could be liberated at the anode? Also How many hours would the electrolysis need to continue to produce 75g of aluminum with a current of 15 amperes?
Can the density of a solution be used to determinr how much substance is dissolved in it?
yes, you just need to know the volume
What is a type of mixture in which one substance is dissolved into another?
This would be called a homogeneous mixture or a solution
Is milk a concentrated or dilute solution?
Diluted milk is milk that is diluted with water or other substance
How does electrolysis work?
Two electrodes must be connected to a battery and then placed in the compound to be electrolysed ( it must be in its molten form or dissolved in a solution). The battery is then switched on and an electric current passes through the compound, electrolysing it.
How electrolysis work?
Electrolysis is a process by which electricity is used to decompose or (breakdown) molecules into key components. It is done by the use of two electrically conductive materials perferibly metals or semi conductors, which are connected to a direct current power source. One metal connected to the positive side of the battery and the other connected to the negative side of the battery. These metals are then submerged in the substance that is in need of decomposition. Electrolysis of water example 2H20 + 2electrons= H2+O2+e
How can a compound be separated?
Yes. For example, water can be separated into oxygen and hydrogen gas by the chemical process of electrolysis. Molten sodium chloride can also be separated into sodium metal and chlorine gas by electrolysis.
How many electrolysis treatments would a male with a full back of hair need?
He would need about 10-15.
