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.

Hydrophobic compounds dissolve in
Anastaziya [24]
Hydrophobic molecules tend to be nonpolar molecules that group together to form micelles rather than be exposed to water. Hydrophobic molecules typically dissolve in nonpolar solvents (e.g., organic solvents).

The process by which hot and cold air are transferred in the atmosphere is
Elan Coil [88]

Convection: the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat.

hope that helps :)

Tell me a hypothesis for the corrosion experiment for iron nails?
Nastasia [14]
The more acidic the substance is, the more the iron nails will corrode (this obviously depends on what your experiment is but hope this helped in some way)

What type(s) of bonding would be expected for each of the following materials: brass (a copper-zinc alloy), rubber, barium sulfi
mr_godi [17]

The force of attraction that results in holding of atoms or ions together in a molecule or crystal is said be bonding.  Bond formation can take place by either attraction or transfer of electrons. There are single, double, and triple bonds.  There are many types of bonding namely:

Covalent (sharing of electrons takes place).

Ionic (transfer of electrons takes place).

Metallic (ionized atoms of metals and the sea of electrons around them).

  • Brass (a copper-zinc alloy)

Brass is an alloy of metal that is copper and zinc. Hence, the metallic bonding is present in the brass.

  • Rubber

It is a polymer whose monomer unit is isoprene, which is a covalent compound. The isoprene units are attached in repeated units to form rubber by covalent bonding.

  • Barium sulfide (BaS)

Due to the large electronegativity difference between barium and sulfur, barium sulfide is an ionic compound. Thus, ionic bonding is present in barium sulfide.

  • Solid xenon

Only xenon atoms are present in solid xenon which are interacted by weak Van der Waal's interactions.

  • Bronze

Bronze is an alloy of metal that is copper and tin. Hence, the metallic bonding is present in the brass.

  • Nylon

It is a polymer whose monomer unit is caprolactam, which is a covalent compound. The caprolactam units are attached in repeated units to form nylon by covalent bonding.

  • Aluminum phosphide (AlP)

Aluminum phosphide is a covalent compound and thus involves covalent bonding.

Explain why solar energy is considered an inexhaustible source of energy
scoray [572]

Answer:

Solar power

Or in some cases, from heat from the sun. ... Solar energy is a renewable free source of energy that is sustainable and totally inexhaustible, unlike fossil fuels that are finite. It is also a non-polluting source of energy and it does not emit any greenhouse gases when producing electricity.
