Answer:
The reaction is a double displacement reaction
Explanation:
Let us consider the reaction equation of the reaction between ammonium oxalate and lithium acetate.
(NH4)2C2O4(aq) +2 CH3COOLi(aq) -------> 2NH4CH3CO2(aq) + Li2C2O4(s)
This is a displacement reaction. A double displacement reaction is a type of reaction in which two reactants exchange their ions to form two new compounds. Double displacement reactions usually lead to the formation of a solid product which is also called a precipitate.
The general form of a Double displacement reaction is of the format:
AB + CD → AD + CB
Where A,B,C and D represents different ions respectively.
A double displacement reaction can also be referred to as salt metathesis reaction, double replacement reaction, exchange reaction, or a double decomposition reaction, although the latter term is more strictly used when one or more of the reactants does not dissolve in the solvent.
Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
If the spot in TLC is below the solvent front, it will be observed that the spot, instead of being separated by the solvent as expected, will just dissolve away in the solvent and zero actual separation of the mixture is achieved.
If the solute is dissolved away instead of being separated by the solvent, then the experiment fails because no actual separation of the mixture is achieved.
Hence, in TLC, the spot must be applied above the solvent front so that the capillary movement of the solvent through the plate can lead to the eventual separation of the components of the mixture since the various components of the mixture will travel at different speeds through the plate.
Also, if the solvent is above the spot, the solvent may evaporate selectively from the points above the spot while separation is ongoing.
