Let MM(x) be the molar mass of x.
MM(Pb) : MM(PbO)
=207.21 : 223.20 = 451.4 g : x g
cross multiply and solve for x
x=223.2/207.21*451.4
= 486.23 g
Percentage yield = 365.0/486.23= 0.75067 = 75.07% (rounded to 4 sign. fig.)
So potassium is more reactive than lithium because the outer electron of a potassium atom is further from its nucleus than the outer electron of a lithium atom. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
If the spot in TLC is below the solvent front, it will be observed that the spot, instead of being separated by the solvent as expected, will just dissolve away in the solvent and zero actual separation of the mixture is achieved.
If the solute is dissolved away instead of being separated by the solvent, then the experiment fails because no actual separation of the mixture is achieved.
Hence, in TLC, the spot must be applied above the solvent front so that the capillary movement of the solvent through the plate can lead to the eventual separation of the components of the mixture since the various components of the mixture will travel at different speeds through the plate.
Also, if the solvent is above the spot, the solvent may evaporate selectively from the points above the spot while separation is ongoing.
Atoms can be the source of both nuclear and chemical energy. Nuclear energy involves the atom's nucleus; chemical energy involves the atom's electrons—subatomic particles that surround the nucleus.
