Why do living things need carbon

Chemistry

Animals use oxygen to convert this food into energy they can use, and to maintain a steady supply of carbon atoms that are necessary for building any animal cells. Respiration also returns carbon dioxide back to the atmosphere as a waste product, where plants can reabsorb it in the process of photosynthesis. hope I helped.

What does a mole of iron weigh
r-ruslan [8.4K]

As the atomic mass of iron is 55.847u

We say that it is the mass of one mole of iron.

By formula it can be find by

No.of mole=mass in g/molar mass

Mass in gram = no.of mole x molar mass

No.of mole =1

Molar mass = 55.847g

Mass in gram = 1x55.847

= 55.847g of Fe

These questions are from an experiment where we had a mixture of Ferrocene, acetylferrocene and diacetyl ferrocene and we separa
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The polarity of the 3 compounds would be in the order of

Ferrocene < Acetylferrocene < Diacetylferrocene

Your TLC data has to also support this observation . This can be checked by measuring the values of Rf ( Retention factor = distance travelled by solute/solvent ) .The Rf values also has to follow this particular order: -

Ferrocene > acetylferrocene > diacetylferrocene

2) Hexane happens to be a non-polar solvent. The polarity of hexane can be increased if some polar solvents for example, ethyl and methylene chloride etc are added

Therefore, in the increasing order of solvents polarity, we have

Hexane < 1:1 mixture of hexane: methylene chloride < 9:1 mixture of methylene chloride:

3) Chromatographic techniques all have a stationary phase in addition to a mobile phase. In the case of column chromatography, the silica gel will be the stationary phase and the solvent that will be poured will be the mobile phase.

4) The TLC and column chromatography both happen to have the same stationary phase which is the silica gel. Also, the same solvent mixture is used in both the techniques. This makes the result of the 2 to be almost the same. The difference seen between them is that, TLC works against the gravity while on the other hand column chromatography works in the direction of the gravity.

5) The key feature in the IR spectra of the acetylferrocene that will be absent in the spectra of ferrocene is the presence of carbonyl stretching frequency at close to 1700 per cm(cm-1). This peak is easily differentiated between both acetyl ferrocene and ferrocene.
