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.

What is the difference between Renewable Energy and Non renewable Energy? Which one is better for the environment and why? Also

goblinko [34]

Answer:

The difference between them is that renewable energy is something that can be used practically and not run out. Non-renewable energy has a limited supply.

Explanation:

Renewable energy is better for the environment as it is not something that takes millions of years to form, as some non-renewable energy sources are.

Answer:

Alright, the first thing we have to do is to balance the chemical equation

2Na3N -----> 6Na + 1N2

We have 60g of Na3N, we convert them into moles by dividing the mass of the compound by the molar mass.

Molar mass of Na3N = (22.98 x 3) + (14) = 82.94g/mol

60 = 0.72341451651 moles of Na3N

82.94

Now because we did the balanced equation, we know the mole to mole ratio of Na3N to N2 would be 2:1, so in order to get the moles of N2 you have to divide the moles of Na3N by 2

0.72341451651 moles/2 = 0.361707258 moles of N2

Now that we have the moles of N2, we just have to determine the mass of it in grams. In order to do that, just multiply the moles by the molar mass of N2 (28g/mol)

0.361707258 x 28 = 10.13g of N2

Therefore the decomposition of 60g of Na3N would result in 10.13g of N2 (nitrogen gas)
