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.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

See explanation and image attached

Explanation:

This reaction is known as mercuric ion catalyzed hydration of alkynes.

The first step in the reaction is attack of the mercuric ion on the carbon-carbon triple bond, a bridged intermediate is formed. This bridged intermediate is attacked by water molecule to give an organomercury enol. This undergoes keto-enol tautomerism, proton transfer to the keto group yields an oxonium ion, loss of the mercuric ion now gives equilibrium keto and enol forms of the compound. The keto form is favoured over the enol form.

How Non-Polar Molecule disolves in Non-Polar Molecule?
sergeinik [125]

=)

Explanation:

Nonpolar compounds do not dissolve in water. The attractive forces that operate between the particles in a nonpolar compound are weak dispersion forces. However, the nonpolar molecules are more attracted to themselves than they are to the polar water molecules.
