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

e level of the alumina before applying the solution of the compound to be separated?

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:

The density of the swimmer is 0.0342 lbm/in3.

This value makes sense as the density of the body is very similar to the water.

Explanation:

If the swimmers is floating, the weight of the swimmer must be equal to the upward buoyant force.

We can express the weight force as the product of density and volume of the swimmer.

Then

\rho_{swimmer}*V_{swimmer}=\rho_{water}*V_{water_displaced}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}*V_{swimmer}=\rho_{water}*0.95**V_{swimmer}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.95*\rho_{water}\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.95*0.036 lbm/in3\\\\\rho_{swimmer}=0.0342lbm/in3

It makes sense as the density of the body is very similar to the water.

Answer: Fire requires oxygen to burn. Water "smothers" fire and prevents it from acquiring more oxygen. Fire also requires heat, which cool water may prevent/remove.

23492u undergoes alpha decay. what is the atomic number of the resulting element.
mash [69]
Alpha decay involves the loss of an alpha particle, aka a helium nucleus. This results in the mass number of the original element decreasing by 4 and the atomic number decreasing by 2. Assuming 23942u is uranium (92), the resulting element's atomic number is 90, making it thorium.
