PLEASE HELP!!! Summarize the steps needed to perform paper chromatography

Chemistry
1 answer:
suter [353]3 years ago

Answer:

Hi!

I might be able to help you!

Explanation:

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

<u>Step 2:</u> 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.

<u>Step 3:</u> 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.

<u>Step 4:</u> 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.

The pH of a solution is measured eight times by one operator using the same instrument. She obtains the following data: 7.15, 7.
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

7.186

Explanation:

The mean is the average of some given data from a sample point.

To calculate the mean, we use the formula below:

             Mean = ∑fx/∑f

Where f = frequency

           x = sample data

   

From the given pH of the solutions, we can form a table:

      x                                     f                                          fx

    7.15                                  1                                         7.15

    7.16                                  1                                         7.16

    7.18                                  1                                         7.18

    7.19                                  1                                         7.19

    7.20                                 3                                        21.6

    7.21                                  1                                         7.21

Now ∑fx = 7.15 +7.16 +7.18 + 7.19 + 7.20 + 7.21 = 57.49

         ∑f = 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 3 + 1 = 8

The mean = \frac{57.49}{8} = 7.18625 = 7.186

The volume of the earth is approximately 1.08326x10 to the 12th power km to the 3rd power. How many liters is this
mafiozo [28]

Here, we are required to determine the volume of the earth which is 1.08326 × 10¹² km³ in liters.

<em>The volume of the earth is approximately</em>,

, 1.08326 × 10²⁴ liters

By conversion factors;

  • <em>1dm³ = 1liter</em>
  • However; <em>1km = 10000dm = 10⁴ </em><em>dm</em>
  • Therefore, 1km³ = (10⁴)³ dm³.

Consequently, 1km³ = 10¹²dm³ = 10¹²liters.

The conversion factor from 1km³ to liters is therefore, c.f = 10¹²liters/km³

Therefore, the volume of the earth which is approximately, 1.08326 × 10¹² km³ can be expressed in liters as;

<em>1.08326 × 10¹² km³ × 10¹²liters/km³ </em>

The volume of the earth is approximately,

1.08326 × 10²⁴ liters.
