what would you observe if you used a ballpoint pen instead of a pencil to mark the chromatography paper?

Chemistry
1 answer:
sveticcg [70]3 years ago

Answer:

It basically messes up the results

Explanation:

Pen ink consists of resins, pigments and other colouring dyes dissolved in appropriate solvents like propylene glycol, propyl alcohol and some other ethers. If the ball point pen is used to mark on the chromatography paper then these pigments will also move along with the solvent and interfere with the spots of our analyte.

If you use a ball point pen when doing a chromatogram, then the ink would separate as it is a mixture and run down the paper.

Graphite, or pencil lead however, is not an organic material and therefore will not be affected by common organic solvents used for thin-layer chromatography. Pen ink on the other hand will be readily absorbed by the solvent and will move up the plate.

Calculate the ph of a solution formed by mixing 200.0 ml of 0.30 m hclo with 300.0 ml of 0.20 m kclo. the ka for hclo is 2.9 × 1
masha68 [24]

Answer:

The pH of the solution will be 7.53.

Explanation:

Dissociation constant of KClO=K_a=2.8\times 10^{-8}

Concentration of acid in 1 l= 0.30 M

Then in 200 ml = 0.30 M\times 0.200 L=0.06 M

The concentration of acid, HClO=[acid]= 0.006 M

Concentration of salt in 1 L = 0.20 M

Then in 300 ml = 0.20 M\times 0.300 L=0.06 M

The concentration of acid, KClO=[salt]= 0.006 M

The pH of the solution will be given by formula :

pH=pK_{a}^o+\log\frac{[salt]}{[acid]}

pH=-\log[2.8\times 10^{-8}]+\frac{[0.06 M]}{[0.06 M]}

The pH of the solution will be 7.53.

The average adult male has a total blood volume of 5.0 L. After drinking a few beers, he has a BAC of 0.10. What mass of alcohol
stellarik [79]
  B A C ( Blood Alcohol Content ) of 0.10 means that there are 0.10 g of alcohol for every  dl  of blood.
  5 L = 50 dl
  50 * 0.10 g = 5 g
  In his blood is circulating 5 grams of alcohol.

Why do sea and ocean levels recede (more coast land is exposed) when the planet goes through a major ice age?
fomenos
This happens because ice is made up of water, and when that water freezes, it never goes back to land, thus there being less water on the coastline. But when the ice starts to melt, the water will even out quickly, and the water will go to the coastline, causing the tide to rise. Mark brainliest, please.

What are the coefficients that will balance this skeleton equation? AlCl3 + NaOH → Al(OH)3 + NaCl
almond37 [142]

Answer:

The coefficients are 1, 3, 1, 3

Explanation:

The equation;

AlCl3 + NaOH → Al(OH)3 + NaCl

can be balanced by using the coefficients  1, 3, 1, 3, such that the balanced equation will be;

AlCl3 + 3NaOH → Al(OH)3 + 3NaCl

Chemical equations needs to be balanced so as to follow the law of conservation of mass. This occurs when the number of the different atoms of elements in the reactants side is equal to that of the products side.
