Referring back to question 6 above, in the TLC plate on the left the mobile solvent phase was ethyl acetate, in the plate on the

right it was 97% ethyl acetate and 3% methanol. Explain why the Rf values in the plate on the right are larger than those in the plate on the left. Your explanation must be in the terms of intermolecular forces, you are not allowed to only use the word "polarity".

Answer:

Polarity is a measure of molecule's electrical charge which means that molecule or it's groups can have a dipole moment and also make hydrogen bonds.

Explanation:

So in terms of polarity methanol is more polar then ethyl acetate due to it's higher dipole moment and that it is a stronger hydrogen bond acceptor and also can be a hydrogen bond donor. So if we add methanol to the elutioning system it becomes more polar because and our compound moves faster on tlc due to methanol providing some more hydrogen bonds to it and increasing dipole-dipole interactions.

What is the role of NaCl and EDTA in DNA isolation?
alexandr402 [8]
<span>The following is the role of NaCl and EDTA in DNA isolation, hope it helps:

NaCl provides Na+ ions that will block negative charge from phosphates on DNA. Negatively charged phosphates on DNA cause molecules to repel each other. The Na+ ions will form an ionic bond with the negatively charged phosphates on the DNA, neutralizing the negative charges and allowing the DNA molecules to come together.</span>

Which of the two forces is greater the force on the firefly or the force on the bus explain your answer please I really need hel
maksim [4K]

Answer: The force on the firefly

The unfortunate firefly hitting the bus does not change the velocity of the bus very much. Technically there is a change, but it's so very small and miniscule that it barely registers. To any casual observer not paying very close attention, they don't notice anything at all. So effectively the force on the firefly is a lot greater since the firefly got the worst end of the deal.

So in short, we look at the velocity of each object and see which velocity changed the most. In this case, the firefly's velocity changed from whatever speed it was flying to 0 when it stops flying all together. That's why the force is greater on the bug.
