Answer:

Hi!

I might be able to help you!

Explanation:

Step 1: A horizontal line is drawn near one end (about 1.5 cm from the bottom edge) of the paper.

Step 2: The sample needs to be separated is placed as a small drop or line on to the paper using capillary tube. Labelling the drop by a pencil with an alphabet or number help to identify the compound later. The drops are then soaked on the paper and dried.

Step 3: The paper is then placed into a sealed container with a swallow layer of suitable solvent. The solvent level must be lower than the pencil line or drop on it. The container need to be covered to stop the solvent to evaporate.

Step 4: The solvent rises up the paper chromatography taking each component of the sample with it. The components travel with the solvent depends on three things:

-The polarity of the sample molecule. The non polar components travel faster than the polar component.

-The attraction between the sample molecule and the solvent or solvent mixture.

-The attraction between the sample and the silica.

Suppose any sample compound mixture contains three colored molecules green, blue and red.

According to their polarity, the order of these compounds is green<blue<red.

-Thus the most non polar green will travel first along with the mobile phase.

-Then blue and at last most polar compound the red one.

Answer:

ΔS> 0 means Letter A

Explanation:

Processes that involve an increase in entropy of the system (ΔS > 0) are very often spontaneous; however, examples to the contrary are plentiful. By expanding consideration of entropy changes to include the surroundings, we may reach a significant conclusion regarding the relation between this property and spontaneity. In thermodynamic models, the system and surroundings comprise everything, that is, the universe, and so the following is true:

\displaystyle \Delta {S}_{\text{univ}}=\Delta {S}_{\text{sys}}+\Delta {S}_{\text{surr}}

Which set of properties distinguishes potential energy from kinetic energy?

fenix001 [56]

Kinetic energy is energy possessed by a body by virtue of its movement.

Potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or state.

Ethyl acetate reacts with H2, in the presence of a catalyst to yield ethyl alcohol: C4H8O2 + 2H2--> 2C2H6O. A. How many grams

Anni [7]

The balanced chemical reaction is:

C4H8O2 + 2H2--> 2C2H6O

A. How many grams of ethyl alcohol are produced by reaction of 2.7 mol of ethyl acetate with H2? 2.7 mol C4H8O2 ( 2 mol C2H6O / 1 mol C4H8O2) (46.07 g / 1 mol) = 248.78 g ethyl alcohol

B. How many grams of ethyl alcohol are produced by reaction of 13.0g of ethyl acetate with H2?
13.0 g C4H8O2 ( 1 mol / 88.11 g) ( 2 mol C2H6O / 1 mol C4H8O2) (46.07 g / 1 mol) = 13.59 g ethyl alcohol

C. How many grams of H2 are needed to react with 13.0g of ethyl acetate?
13.0 g C4H8O2 ( 1 mol / 88.11 g) ( 2 mol H2 / 1 mol C4H8O2) (2.02 g / 1 mol) = 0.5961 g H2
