You plan to separate a polar and a non-polar compound using normal phase column chromatography technique. Methylene chloride (CH

Answer:

Hexane should be used first.

Explanation:

Chromatography is a method of separating the constituents of a mixture by taking advantage of their different rates of movement in a solvent over an adsorbent medium. Chromatography is a means of separation and analysis that utilises fractional separation. It is based on the principle  that if a fluid containing a number of substances is allowed to pass though an adsorbent medium, the different substances in the fluid may travel at different rates and be separated.

The rate of movement depends on the relative affinities of the constituents for the solvent and adsorbent medium. i.e solutes which are weakly adsorbed by the adsorbent medium are easily redissolved by the ascending solvent and quickly travel up the adsorbent medium. In addition to that , solutes which are very soluble in the solvent move up at a faster rate than those which  are not soluble.

In column Chromatography;

A non-polar solvent should be initiated and applied first. This is because , in a column chromatography, a non-polar compound will be removed at first then later polar compound.

Assuming a polar compound is used first, the polar compounds will be removed alongside with all the non-polar compounds.

From the two Compounds given;

We know that :

Hexane is a non-polar compound and Methylene chloride  is a polar compound. As such, Hexane should be used first.

Ammonia forms when hydrogen gas reacts with nitrogen gas according to the equation below. If equal moles of nitrogen and hydroge
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Two thirds the number of moles of hydrogen

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is

3H₂ + N₂ → 2NH₃

So 1 mol of nitrogen gas reacts completely with 3 moles of hydrogen gas, to produce 2 moles of ammonia.

If equal moles of nitrogen and hydrogen are combined, <em>then hydrogen would be the limiting reactant</em>. Let's say we have 3 moles of each reactant, one mol of N₂ reacts with the 3 moles of H₂ and produces 2 moles of NH₃, and 2 moles of N₂ would remain. So the answer is<em> two thirds the number of moles of hydrogen.</em>

A particular sample of air is 2.5% water vapor express the concentration of water vapor in parts per million
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

                     25000 ppm

Explanation:

<em>Parts Per Million </em>is defined as the number of parts of a solute per one million parts of a solution.

                  ppm  =  (Weight of Solute / Weight of Solution) × 10⁶   ---(1)

Let us suppose that the air (solution) weights 100 grams, then 2.5 % of water vapors will have following mass,

Mass of Vapors g / 100 g × 100  =  2.5

Or,

Mass of Vapors = 2.5 × 100 / 100

Mass of Vapors  =  2.5 g

Hence, mass of water vapors is 2.5 g.

Now, putting mass of water vapors and air in eq. 1,

                  ppm  =  (2.5 / 100) × 10⁶

                 ppm  =  25000

Sometimes when performing a crystallization, one solvent alone will not work and you have to use a solvent-pair. Will the solven
love history [14]

For the crystallization purpose the combination of solvent process is known to be an effective process. But the solvent pair one have to choose crucially. The solvent which is completely in soluble into the other solvent can not work as a good solvent pair for the crystallization. The crystallization of any compound by the solvent pair process is depend upon the slow diffusion of a less polar solvent to the polar solvent or vice-versa.

If a compound is soluble in a polar solvent the slow diffusion of relatively low polar solvent will make crystal of the compound. But anyhow the solvents which are completely not immiscible to each other will not work for the purpose. Thus diethyl ether and water solvent pair can not be used for the crystallization process.
