An open tubular gas chromatography column is 35.7 m long and has an inner diameter of 0.250 mm. It is coated on the inside wall

with a layer of stationary phase that is 1.8 µm (0.0018 mm) thick. Unretained solute, methane, passes through in 6.39 min, whereas toluene has a retention time of 16.35 min. Calculate the retention factor for toluene.

Answer:

The retention factor, k is 2.49

Explanation:

According to the theory of High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), the retention factor (or capacity), k, of a column is the ratio of the retention time of a retained analyte (toluene) to that of the  un-retained solute (methane).

This implies that:

k = \frac{16.35  (mins)}{ 6.39 (mins)}  =  \frac{995 (secs)}{399 (secs)}

 retention factor, k  = 2.49.

Note that there is no unit for retention factor, as it is a ratio.

La formula quimica de la molecula de agua H20 , si H = 1 gramos y O = 16 gramos . Cual es su composicion porcentual ? 88,88 % de
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

88,88 % de O y 11,11 % de H

Explanation:

La composición porcentual se define como la masa que hay de cada mol de átomo en 100g. Las moles de agua en 100g son:

<em>Masa molar agua:</em>

2H = 2*1g/mol = 2g/mol

1O = 1*16g/mol = 16g/mol

Masa molar = 2 + 16 = 18g/mol

100g H2O * (1mol / 18g) = 5.556 moles H2O.

Moles de hidrógeno:

5.556 moles H2O * (2mol H / 1mol H2O) = 11.11 moles H

Moles Oxígeno = Moles H2O = 5.556 moles

La masa de hidrógeno es:

11.11mol * (1g/mol) 11.11g H

La masa de oxígeno es:

5.556 mol * (16g / 1mol) = 88.89g O

Así, el porcentaje de O es 88.89% y el de H es 11.11%. La opción correcta es:

<h3>88,88 % de O y 11,11 % de H</h3>

Which element(s) is/are not balanced in this equation? <br> Pb(NO3)2 +2 Kcl -&gt; pbCl2 + KNO3
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The correct answer is KNO3

Explanation:

Pb(NO3)2 +2 KCl -> PbCl2 + KNO3

If we look at the left side of the equation we could see that there are 1 lead atom, 2 nitrate atoms ,2 potassium atoms and 2 chlorine atoms

Now when we look at the right side of the equation, we found that there are –  

1 lead atom and  2 chlorine atoms (PbCl2)  , thus lead and chlorine are balanced as they have the same number of atom in LHS and RHS

There is only 1 potassium and 1 nitrate atom on RHS , thus KNO3 is not balanced.  

The balanced equation would be –  

Pb(NO3)2 +2 KCl -> PbCl2 +2 KNO3
