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.

why is it harder to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon? to put it another way, why are the outermost electrons of
Verizon [17]

It is harder to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon because the size of the nuclear charge in fluorine is larger than that of carbon.

The energy required to remove an electron from an atom is called ionization energy.

The ionization energy largely depends on the size of the nuclear charge. The larger the size of the nuclear charge, the higher the ionization energy because it will be more difficult to remove an electron from the atom owing to increased electrostatic attraction between the nucleus and orbital electrons.

Since fluorine has a higher size of the nuclear charge than carbon. More energy is required to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon leading to the observation that;  it is harder to remove an electron from fluorine than from carbon.

Draw the Lewis structure for methane (CH4) and ethane (C2H6) in the box below. Then predict which would have the higher boiling
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Ethane would have a higher boiling point.

Explanation:

In this case, for the lewis structures, we have to keep in mind that all atoms must have <u>8 electrons</u> (except hydrogen). Additionally, each carbon would have <u>4 valence electrons</u>, with this in mind, for methane we have to put the hydrogens around the carbon, and with this structure, we will have 8 electrons for the carbon. In ethane, we will have a bond between the carbons, therefore we have to put three hydrogens around each carbon to obtain 8 electrons for each carbon.

Now, the main difference between methane and ethane is an <u>additional carbon</u>. In ethane, we have an additional carbon, therefore due to this additional carbon, we will have <u>more area of interaction</u> for ethane. If we have more area of interaction we have to give <u>more energy</u> to the molecule to convert from liquid to gas, so, the ethane will have a higher boiling point.

I hope it helps!

Determine the percentage composition (by mass) of oxygen in NH4NO3.
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

60%

Explanation:

M(NH4NO3) = 2*14 +4*1 +3*16 = 80 g/mol

M(3O) = 3*16 = 48 g/mol

(48/80) *100 % =60% oxygen by mass.
