Even if you know no chemistry at all, the diagram itself gives you a hint. If the answer is either A or D you have two answers that if you actually do this that are too close to call. Chromatography is not a very precise procedure.

However you should not give that as your reason for answering. The answer is B because the ink that represents B is hardest to dislodge from the solvent. That's because likes dissolve best in likes. So the energy needed to climb that height is provided by the two traveling together. Two means solvent in ink.The other inks all break away much sooner because The solvent / ink complex cannot stay together and move at the same time.

Answer:

Boiling point

Explanation:

Distillation is one of the most widely used separation technique in chemistry. It is used to separate a mixture of liquid substances with different boiling point. Hence, the basis of the separation is BOILING POINT DIFFERENCE.

In the procedure, the liquid substances are heated until they turn gaseous, which they do at different times considering their different boiling points. The separated components are then converted back to liquid states in a process called CONDENSATION.

kompoz [17]

Answer:

$2CH_{4(g)} +3O_{2(g)} -->2CO(g)+4H_{2}O_{(g)}\\CH_{4(g)} +2O_{2(g)} -->CO_{2(g)} +2H_{2}O_{(g)} \\$

Explanation:

$2CH_{4(g)} +3O_{2(g)} -->2CO(g)+4H_{2}O_{(g)}\\CH_{4(g)} +2O_{2(g)} -->CO_{2(g)} +2H_{2}O_{(g)} \\$

The incomplete combustion of alkanes, and other fuels actually, happens when there is a limited supply of oxygen. Instead of the fuel burning completely to produce carbon dioxide, it produces carbon monoxide instead.

This gas is harmful to jumans because it combines with haemoglobin in lood and takes up space that belongs to oxygen which can lead to suffocation or even death
