Answer:
Potassium is an element, with the symbol K
Explanation:
An element is something that cannot be broken down any further, for example, calcium, its Ca.
A compound is when you bond two or more elements. Compounds can be broken down into its original elements, for example, H₂O, it contains two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen (both hydrogen and oxygen are elements).
According to Dalton's Law, in a mixture of non-reacting gasses, thetotal pressure<span> exerted is the sum of the </span>partial pressures<span> of the component gasses. In more complicated circumstances, equilibrium states come into effect, but fortunately for us, </span>oxygen<span> is non-reactive with </span>water vapor<span>.</span>
Answer : Option 3) Electrolysis.
Explanation : In the process of electrolysis, decomposition of the chemical is done by passing the electric current from the liquid or the solution containing ions in it. This is the process where compound is broken into ions namely, cations and anions.
Rest all options does not involves chemical decomposition of the compound.
Chromatography is a technique where rates of solute and solvent are compared in a medium where the solute components move at different rates and the separation is obtained.
Distillation simply purifies the liquid or solution by heating or cooling process.
Filtration just involves removal of impurities by using a more porous material device to get purified compound.
Answer:
NaCl will only conduct electricity in solutions
Explanation:
For electrical conduction, free mobile electrons as seen in most metals must be present or ions which are charged particles must be available for solutions and molten substances.
- Sodium chloride is an ionic compound without free mobile electrons or ions despite being ionic.
- It will maintain a subtle and unique charge stability when in solid form.
- In solid, the ions are not free to move and remain locked up in the solid mass.
- When introduced into a solution, the ions becomes free to move and this will aid electrical conduction.
