Once the chromatographic column has been prepared, why is it important to allow the level of the liquid in the column to drop th

Answer: Chromatography is a technique which is used for the separation of components present in a mixture into sub-components.

Explanation:

The solvent or liquid used for the separation of the chromatographic mixture should lie below the spot point where the mixture is loaded in an alumina column. This is done to prevent the air bubbles formations, which can lead to poor sanitation. Also this is done to prevent the mixing of the mixture to be separated with the solvent instead of running with the solvent via capillary action.

Answer:

CO₂

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a covalent compound. Two double bonds are formed between two oxygen atoms and one carbon atom. O=C=O

The covalent bond between them are polar.

Covalent bond:

It is formed by the sharing of electron pair between bonded atoms.  

The atom with larger electronegativity attract the electron pair more towards it self and becomes partial negative while the other atom becomes partial positive.

For example:

In carbondioxide the electronegativity of oxygen is 3.44 and carbon is 2.55. That's why electron pair attracted more towards oxygen, thus oxygen becomes partial negative and carbon becomes partial positive.  The electronegativity difference is 0.89 that's why it is polar covalent bond.

When a sample of rust was mixed with acid, the rust changed into two simpler substances: W and Z. The substances W and Z could n
julia-pushkina [17]

here can be a number of chemical processes by which a compounds can be broken down into simpler substances. The most common and wide-spread of such processes is Catabolism. Along with anabolism, catabolism make up the metabolism process for living organisms. In catabolism, complex chemical molecules (such as proteins, polysaccharides, etc.) are broken down into simpler molecules (such as amino acids, monosaccharides, etc.). This is often accompanied by release of energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecules and intermediate metabolites (which can be used by the organism in the anabolic processes). The energy thus generated is used for operation and maintenance of cells (and consequently, the body).  

Other processes that break down chemical substances into simpler substances, include depolymerization, decomposition, etc.

Hope this helps.
