A student is comparing two samples of crystalline organic solids. A TLC analysis shows a single spot for each sample and the co-

spot with the same Rf value. Which of the following would provide the most conclusive evidence that the two samples are the same compound?
-rerun the TLC using more developing solvent
-rerun the TLC on a longer TLC plate
-Perform a mixture melting point
-mix the substances and run the TLC as a single spot

Answer:

Rerun the TLC using more developing solvent

Explanation:

The TLC principle envolves the interaction of the samples with the solvent and the stationary phase.

For the solvent you are using at the moment, the interaction with the sample may be very similar for both cases depending with the polarity, what could indicate an equal value.

If you develops a new solvent with a different polarity, you can see if the samples are the same compound or not. Because a more polar compound will interact more with the stationary phase and a more non-polar compound will interact more with the solvent.

A 0.529-g sample of gas occupies 125 ml at 60. cm of hg and 25°c. what is the molar mass of the gas?
Llana [10]

<span>Let's </span>assume that the gas has ideal gas behavior. <span>
Then we can use ideal gas formula,
PV = nRT<span>

</span><span>Where, P is the pressure of the gas (Pa), V is the volume of the gas (m³), n is the number of moles of gas (mol), R is the universal gas constant ( 8.314 J mol</span></span>⁻¹ K⁻¹) and T is temperature in Kelvin.<span>
<span>
</span>P = 60 cm Hg = 79993.4 Pa
V = </span>125  mL = 125 x 10⁻⁶ m³

n = ?

<span> R = 8.314 J mol</span>⁻¹ K⁻¹<span>
T = 25 °C = 298 K
<span>
By substitution,
</span></span>79993.4 Pa<span> x </span>125 x 10⁻⁶ m³ = n x 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹ x 298 K<span>
                                          n = 4.0359 x 10</span>⁻³ mol

<span>
Hence, moles of the gas</span> = 4.0359 x 10⁻³ mol<span>

Moles = mass / molar mass

</span>Mass of the gas  = 0.529 g 

<span>Molar mass of the gas</span> = mass / number of moles<span>
                                    = </span>0.529 g / 4.0359 x 10⁻³ mol<span>
<span>                                    = </span>131.07 g mol</span>⁻¹<span>

Hence, the molar mass of the given gas is </span>131.07 g mol⁻¹

How many grams of oxygen are required to burn 60 grams of ethane gas, C2H6? 2 C2H6 (g) + 7 O2(g) → 4 CO2 (g) + 6 H2O (g)
timofeeve [1]
60 g C2H6 × 1 mol C2H6 x   7 mol O2     x     32 g O2   =      ~223.5 g O2
                        30.068 g      2 mol C2H6        1 mol O2
