Answer: The $R_f$ value is 0.664

Explanation:

Distance travelled by solvent front = (7.7-1.45)cm = 6.25 cm

Distance travelled by unknown = (5.6-1.45) cm = 4.15 cm

The retention factor or the $R_f$ value is defined as the ratio of distance traveled by the unknown to the distance traveled by the solvent front.

$R_f=\frac{\text {distance travelled by unknown}}{\text {distance travelled by solvent}}$

$R_f=\frac{4.15}{6.25}=0.664$

Thus the $R_f$ value is 0.664

Why steam distillation is usefull for thermally un stable compounds

g100num [7]

The advantage of steam distillation over simple distillation is that the lower boiling point reduces decomposition of temperature -sensitive compounds.

The concentration of Rn−222 in the basement of a house is 1.45 × 10−6 mol/L. Assume the air remains static and calculate the con

<u>Answer:</u> The concentration of radon after the given time is $3.83\times 10^{-30}mol/L$

<u>Explanation:</u>

All the radioactive reactions follows first order kinetics.

The equation used to calculate half life for first order kinetics:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

We are given:

$t_{1/2}=3.82days$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{0.693}{3.82}=0.181days^{-1}$

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$

where,

k = rate constant = $0.181days^{-1}$

t = time taken for decay process = 3.00 days

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the reactant = $1.45\times 10^{-6}mol/L$

[A] = amount left after decay process = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.181days^{-1}=\frac{2.303}{3.00days}\log\frac{1.45\times 10^{-6}}{[A]}$

$[A]=3.83\times 10^{-30}mol/L$

Hence, the concentration of radon after the given time is $3.83\times 10^{-30}mol/L$

Toluene, c6h5ch3, is a liquid compound similar to benzene, c6h6. it is the starting material for other substances, including tri

babymother [125]

Toulene = 35.6 g
Benzene = 125 g = 0.125 kg
Molecular weight of Toluene C6H5CH3 = 92.1g/mol
Moles of toulene = 35.6 g / 92.1 g/mol = 0.3865 mol

Now the molarity of the toulene in the given solution = 0.3865 / 0.125 = 3.092 m
Molarity of C6H5CH3 = 3.092 m
