Suppose that there are two components, A and B, in a mixture. The chemical affinity of A for the stationary phase is less than t

hat of B and the chemical affinity of A for the mobile phase is greater than that of B. If the mixture is subjected to paper chromatography, which substance will have traveled further at the completion of the experiment?Which substance will have the largest Rf value?

Answer: Substance A will travel further at the end of the experiment and also it will have larger Rf value compared to substance B.

Explanation:

The affinity of substance towards the stationary or mobile phase means how much the substance binds to a phase. Because component B has greater affinity for the stationary phase, it binds more to stationary phase; while component A binds more to a mobile phase. Due to differences in their affinity, component A and B can be separated using chromatography. Stationary phase, as its name says, stays fixed, while the mobile phase is moving. Together with the mobile phase travels component A because of its greater affinity, while component B stays fixed due to its greater affinity for the stationary phase. In conclusion , substance A will travel further at the end of the experiment.

Rf value (Retention Factor) can be defined as the ratio of the distance traveled by a substance in the mobile phase (solute) compared with the distance traveled by the front of the mobile phase itself (solvent front).

Rf = Migration distance of substance / Migration distance of solvent front

Because the solvent front is always larger from the distance traveled by the solute, Rf values are always between 0 and 1. The farther a compound traveled, the larger its Rf value will be. In this example, substance A will have larger Rf value compared to substance B.

Answer:

Mg + Fe(NO₃)₂ —> Fe + Mg(NO₃)₂

Explanation:

The activity series helps us to easily define whether or not a reaction will occur.

Elements at the top of the activity series are highly reactive and will always displace those at the bottom of the series in any reaction.

With the above information in mind, let us answer the questions given above.

Ag + NaNO₃ —> Na + AgNO₃

The above reaction will not occur because Na is higher than Ag in the activity series. Thus, Ag cannot displace Na from solution.

Pb + Mg(NO₃)₂ —> Pb(NO₃)₂ + Mg

The above reaction will not occur because Mg is higher than Pb in the activity series. Thus, Pb cannot displace Mg from solution.

Mg + Fe(NO₃)₂ —> Fe + Mg(NO₃)₂

The above reaction will occur because Mg is higher than Fe in the activity series. Thus, Mg will displace Fe from solution.

Cu + Mg(NO₃)₂ —> Cu(NO₃)₂ + Mg

The above reaction will not occur because Mg is higher than Cu in the activity series. Thus, Cu cannot displace Mg from solution.

From the above illustration, only

Mg + Fe(NO₃)₂ —> Fe + Mg(NO₃)₂

Will occur.

Answer:

Jeweler B = more accurate

Jeweler A = more precise

Error:

0.008, 0

% error :

0.934% ; 0

Explanation:

Given that:

True mass of nugget = 0.856

Jeweler A: 0.863 g, 0.869 g, 0.859 g

Jeweler B: 0.875 g, 0.834 g, 0.858 g

Official measurement (A) = 0.863 + 0.869 + 0.859 = 2.591 / 3 = 0.864

Official measurement (B) = 0.875 + 0.834 + 0.858 = 2.567 / 3 = 0.8556

Accuracy = closeness of a measurement to the true value

Accuracy = true value - official measurement

Jeweler A's accuracy :

0.856 - 0.864 = - 0.008

Jeweler B's accuracy :

0.856 - 0.856 = 0.00

Therefore, Jeweler B's official measurement is more accurate as it is more close to the true value of the gold nugget.

However, Jeweler A's official measurement is more precise as each Jeweler A's measurement are closer to one another than Jeweler B's measurement which are more spread out.

Error:

Jeweler A's error :

0.864 - 0.856 = 0.008

% error =( error / true value) × 100

% error = (0.008/0.856) × 100% = 0.934%

Jeweler B's error :

0.856 - 0.856 = 0 ( since the official measurement as been rounded to match the decimal representation of the true value)

% error = 0%
