Answer:

15.70mg would remain

Explanation:

Partition coefficient is used to extract or purify a solute from a solvent selectively to avoid interference from other substances. For the problem, formula is:

Kp = Concentration 9-fluorenone in ether / Concentration of solute in H₂O

After the solute, 9-fluorenone, is extracted with water, the mass that remains in ether is:

(19mg - X)

<em>Where X is the mass that now is in the aqueous phase</em>

Replacing in Kp formula:

9.5 = (19mg - X) / 5mL / (X /10mL)

0.95X = 19mg - X / 5mL

4.75X = 19 - X

5.75X = 19

X = 19 / 5.75

X = 3.30mg

That means 9-fluorenone that remain in the ether layer is:

19mg - 3.30mg =

<h3>15.70mg would remain</h3>

What is the role of NaCl and EDTA in DNA isolation?
alexandr402 [8]
<span>The following is the role of NaCl and EDTA in DNA isolation, hope it helps:

NaCl provides Na+ ions that will block negative charge from phosphates on DNA. Negatively charged phosphates on DNA cause molecules to repel each other. The Na+ ions will form an ionic bond with the negatively charged phosphates on the DNA, neutralizing the negative charges and allowing the DNA molecules to come together.</span>
