Bob the chemist ran a TLC plate of his product, but the spot would not move off the baseline. The eluent he used consisted of a

30% polar / 70% non-polar solvent system. Which solvent system should he try next in order to get the compounds in his product mixture to move up the plate

Answer:

40 % polar / 60 % nonpolar system

Explanation:

According to the like-dissolves-like rule, remember that polar compounds dissolve in polar solvents and nonpolar compounds dissolve in nonpolar solvents.

Notice that the eluent used is only slightly polar and mainly nonpolar. Since the product didn't move at all, this means it didn't interact with the major nonpolar solvent and is expected to be polar.

That said, a more polar system should be used in order to make the product move off the baseline, such as 40 % polar and 60 % nonpolar solvent system.

In case the product still doesn't move, polarity of the eluent should be increased further.

Answer:

Mass = 199.21 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Moles of HCl = 3.59 mol

Mass of CaCl₂ = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2HCl + Ca(OH)₂  →     CaCl₂ + 2H₂O

we will compare the moles of HCl with  CaCl₂ from balanced chemical equation:

                HCl             :           CaCl₂

                   2              :              1

                 3.59           :             1/2×3.59 = 1.795  

3.59 moles of HCl will produced 1.795 moles of CaCl₂.

Mass of CaCl₂.

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.795 mol  × 110.98 g/mol

Mass = 199.21 g

When a sample is being heated and it starts to melt, the phase energy__, and the thermal energy___
jeyben [28]
In the case of melting, added energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules. ... They are changes in bonding energy between the molecules. If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance.
