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

Chemistry
1 answer:

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.

An organic compound is composed of 38.7% C, 9.70% H, 51.6% O. The compound has a molecular formula mass of 62.0g/mol.
Tcecarenko [31]

<span>B)<span>C2H6O<span>2
</span></span></span>
First, convert each percentage to grams: 38.7g, 9.70g, and 51.6g. 
Next, calculate the number of moles of each element, based on the number of grams given.
C = 3.23 mol
H = 8.91 mol
O = 3.23 mol
Set up the ratio of moles of each element:
C3.34H9.70O3.23. Convert the decimals to whole numbers by dividing by the smallest subscript, 3.23.
The empirical formula is CH3O.
Now, compute the formula mass, which is 31. Finally, divide the molecular mass by the formula mass, 62/31 = 2. Multiple the subscripts by 2 to get the molecular formula.

Indicate whether each of the following statements is correct or incorrect.1)Every Bronsted-Lowry acid is also a Lewis acid2)Ever
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

1) correct

2) incorrect

3) correct

4)incorrect

Explanation:

1) A Lewis acid is a substance that accepts a nonbonding pair of electrons.

A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a substance that donates a proton H⁺

Since the donation of a proton involves the acceptance of a pair of electrons, every Bronsted-Lowry acid is also a Lewis acid.

2)A Lewis acid not necessarily needs to have a proton to be donated.

3) Conjugated acids of weak bases are strong acids and conjugated acids of strong bases are weak acids.

4)K⁺ comes from a strong base, therefore is does not have an acidic behaviour.
