The formula of determining the R_f value is:

R_f = \frac{distance travelled by the solute}{distance travelled by the solvent}

where both the distance are measured from the common origin.

10 % ethyl acetate/ hexane means it has 10 % ethyl acetate and 90 % hexane which are non-polar in nature. Hence, the non-polar compound will travel farther in the TLC plate along with the eluent and the polar compound will travel less as they remain attracted to the polar adsorbent SiO_2.

Among 3-decanone and 3-decanol, 3-decanone will have high R_f as it is non-polar.

Among toluene and benzoic acid, toluene will have high R_f as it is non-polar.

Among cyclooctane and cyclooctanone, cyclooctane will have high R_f as it is non-polar.

A gas evolved during the fermentation of alcohol had a volume of 19.4 L at 17 °C and 746 mmHg. How many moles of gas were collec
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:- 0.800 moles of the gas were collected.

Solution:- Volume, temperature and pressure is given for the gas and asks to calculate the moles of the gas.

It is an ideal gas law based problem. Ideal gas law equation is used to solve this. The equation is:

PV=nRT

Since it asks to calculate the moles that is n, so let's rearrange this for n:

n=\frac{PV}{RT}

V = 19.4 L

T = 17 + 273 = 290 K

P = 746 mmHg

we need to convert the pressure from mmHg to atm and for this we divide by 760 since, 1 atm = 760 mmHg

P=746mmHg(\frac{1atm}{760mmHg})

P = 0.982 atm

R = 0.0821\frac{atm.L}{mol.K}

Let's plug in the values in the equation to get the moles.

n=\frac{0.982atm*19.4L}{0.0821\frac{atm.L}{mol.K}*290K}

n = 0.800 moles

So, 0.800 moles of the gas were collected.

Water contrasts on freezing ?
Airida [17]

No. When water first begins to cool down, it contracts. However, as it gets colder and eventually freezes, it begins to expand.

You can test this by freezing water in a water bottle: when you take it out of the freezer, the cap might have popped off or cracks may have formed in the sides of the bottle.

Answer: Water expands when frozen, not contracts.

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 30 and its mass number is 70?
Yanka [14]
The answer is 40.

We can solve this by finding out the number of protons, and neutrons. Atomic number of an element means the number of protons in that element. So, the atom has 30 protons if the atomic number is 30.

On the other hand, mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons, but not electrons, because they're too light comparing to the other 2. Therefore, we can simply solve the number of neutrons in the atom by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number. 70 - 30 = 40.

Therfore, the number of neutrons is 40.

You have 0.14 moles of sodium chloride (NaCl). How many grams do you have? ( 1 mole of NaCl = 58 grams NaCl) *
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Option D is correct = 8.12 grams of NaCl

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of sodium chloride = 0.14 mol

Mass of sodium chloride = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass of NaCl / Molar mass of NaCl

Molar mass of NaCl = 58 g/mol

Now we will put the values in formula.

0.14 mol = Mass of NaCl / 58 g/mol

Mass of NaCl = 0.14 mol  ×  58 g/mol

Mass of NaCl = 8.12 g of NaCl

Thus, 0.14 moles of NaCl contain 8.12 g of NaCl.

A nugget of GOLD has a mass 9.66 gram and a volume of 0.5 cm3, It's density is<br>grams/cm3 *​
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

P=19.32g/cm³

Explanation:

m=9.66g

v=0.5cm³

P=mass/volume (density formula)

=9.66/0.5

=19.32g/cm³
