Which among the following methods is used to separate the constituents present in compound?
General KnowledgeChemistry
- AElectrochemical method.
- BHeating method.
- CFractional distillation.
- DDecomposition followed by ion exchange.
Explanation
The constituents of a compound are held together by chemical bonds, so physical methods such as heating or fractional distillation cannot separate them. Only a chemical change, for example electrochemical decomposition (electrolysis), can break a compound down into its constituent elements.
