Answer:

In order  to determine unequivocally which of the peaks represent Aldrin, I would run the pure sample through the chromatography equipment.

Explanation:

Gas chromatography is a technique that separates molecules based on their volatility and interaction with both the stationary phase.

The peaks on the chromatogram show how long a substance took to leave the column. Since each different substance substance will leave the column at a different time, each peak can be attributed to a substance.

Therefore, to know which of the 6 peaks represent Aldrin, it is necessary to run the pure Aldrin in the chromatography equipment and see the time of the peak. Then you just need to compare both chromatograms and indentify Aldrin.

In the combustion of propanol, what is the molar ratio of propanol (ch3ch2ch2oh) to co2? combustion of propanol: 2ch3ch2ch2oh +
maksim [4K]
Propanol molecular formula is C₃H₇OH
the balanced reaction for combustion of propanol is as follows;
2C₃H₇OH + 9O₂ --> 6CO₂  + 8H₂O
Molar ratio of reactants to products can be found out by the stoichiometry.
By looking at the coefficients of reactants and products in the balanced reaction equation, molar ratio can determined.
Therefore the molar ratio of propanol to CO₂ is 2:6, simplified --> 1:3
