Answer:

Paper chromatography would separate the pigments into several bands that appear green or yellow/orange.

Explanation:

Chloroplasts have a mixture of pigments with different colors: intense green chlorophyll-a, green chlorophyll-b, yellow carotenes and orange-yellow xanthophylls, in different proportions. All these substances have a different degree of solubility in non-polar solvents, which allows their separation when a solution of them ascends by capillarity through a porous paper strip, vertically arranged on a film of an organic solvent, where the most soluble move faster, and the less soluble move less on the filter paper strip. Therefore, several bands of different colors will appear that will be more or less distant from the solution according to the greater or lesser solubility of the pigments.

Answer: E = 1.55 ⋅ 10 − 19 J

Explanation:  

The energy transition will be equal to  1.55 ⋅ 10 − 1 J .  

So, you know your energy levels to be n = 5 and n = 3. Rydberg's equation will allow you calculate the wavelength of the photon emitted by the electron during this transition

1 λ  = R ⋅ ( 1 n 2 final  − 1 n 2 initial  ) , where λ - the wavelength of the emitted photon; R

- Rydberg's constant -  1.0974 ⋅ 10 7 m − 1 ; n final - the final energy level - in your case equal to 3; n initial - the initial energy level - in your case equal to 5. So, you've got all you need to solve for  λ , so 1 λ  =

1.0974 ⋅10  7 m − 1 ⋅ (....     −152

Since

If an atom’s mass number is 210 and its atomic number is 85, how many neutrons does it have?
Nadya [2.5K]
Mass number is the total number of Protons and Neutrons. Simply subtract 85 from 210. 210-85=125 neutrons
