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 causes gas pressure
kaheart [24]

The kinetic energy causes the air molecules to move faster and they impact the container walls more frequently and with more force. The kinetic energy of the gas molecules increases, so collisions with the walls of the container are now more forceful than they were before. As a result, the pressure of the gas doubles.
