Why must pencil be used to draw on paper in paper chromatography

Chemistry

Hey there!

The reason why a pencil must be used to draw in a paper chromatography is because its meant to split up the mixture of compounds into its sub parts.



Hope this helped you

Because ink in a pen would be seperated into it's different components on the chromatography paper. Graphite pencils just... don't dissolve like that, they aren't soluble like ink. Graphite would not seperate on the paper, whilst ink would.

Explain why scientists find the particulate matter of theory useful
BARSIC [14]

This idea has historical significance. The ancient Greek philosopher Democritus (born 460 BCE), who held that everything is composed of small particles moving in empty space, is credited with developing the first hypothesis we have about the microscopic universe. He had some concrete proof for this, such the fact that items like a new loaf of bread or a rose may give off a scent even when they are far from the source. Being a materialist, he thought that these odors originated from actual material particles released by the bread or the rose, rather than being purely a type of magic. He reasoned that these particles must float through the air, with some of them maybe landing in your nose where you can smell them immediately. This still makes sense in modern times. But many of us now have quite different perspectives on these "particles."

Thank you,

Eddie

If you performed this experiment using mgcl2 as the solute would the molar concentration of mgcl2 that is isotonic to the potato
Mama L [17]
The answer to this question would be: lower molar concentration

Osmotic pressure is influenced by the number of ions and the concentration of the molecule in the solution. In NaCl, the molecule will split into 1 Na+ ion and 1 Cl- ion which results in 2 ions per compound. In MgCl2, the compound will split into 1 Mg2+ ion and 2 Cl- ion which results in 3 ions. Therefore, the osmotic pressure of MgCl2 will be 3/2 times of NaCl.
MgCl2 will need less concentration to achieve same osmotic pressure as NaCl. If the MgCl2 solution is isotonic with NaCl, the concentration of MgCl2 would be lower than NaCl

Determine whether the reaction will be spontaneous at high temperatures only, at low temperatures only, at all temperatures, or
LiRa [457]

Answer:

The rusting of iron is spontaneous at low temperatures.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction is:

4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) ----> 2Fe2O3(s) [rust]

The rusting of iron is a chemical reaction in which iron reacts with oxygen in presence of moisture and forms iron oxide.

This reaction takes place in a faster rate when there is low temperatures in the atmosphere.

When temperature is low, the moisture in the atmosphere is more and hence, rate of rusting is more.
