Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction or repulsion which act between neighboring particles (atoms, molecules, or ions ). These forces are weak compared to the intramolecular forces, such as the covalent or ionic bonds between atoms in a molecule.
Answer:
The Retention factor (rf) value is = 0.2
Explanation:
- Retention factor (Rf) is factor used substances that could be separated using Chromatography. Retention factor determines how fast the component can move on the chromatogram (stationary phase) after elution. Elution occurs when mobile phase (solvent) moves across the stationary phase when the solute has been spotted on the origin.
- Retention factor (Rf) ranges from value between 0 and 1. The closer the value to 1, the faster it can move upon elution. Rf can be calculated.
- Rf value = distance moved by the solute / distance moved by the solvent
= 0.40cm / 2.00cm
= 0.2
<span>Percent yield is the measured recovery of a substance in grams divided by the theoretical amount of substance expected in grams (times 100 to convert to %). Undissolved Aluminum trihydroxide would add mass to the Aluminum sulphate one is making here. The measured mass would be inaccurately high, increasing the percent yield calculated.</span>
