Answer:

To allow all the elements or compounds to separate complete.

Explanation:

In chromatography, the compounds need some space and time to separate, one from each other, if you  just use the half of the paper strip maybe you will not notice the different spots of compounds. Remember all the substances have different affinity for the solvents, that means, some react very quickly but others need more time as the colors that conform the black color in an ink.

From a 2.875 g sample containing only iron, sand, and salt, 0.660 g of iron and 1.161 g of sand were separated and recovered. Wh
Serjik [45]

Answer:

36.66%

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

  • Mass of iron: 0.660 g
  • Mass of sand: 1.161 g
  • Mass of the sample: 2.875 g
  • Mass of salt: ?

Step 2: Calculate the mass of salt

The mass of the sample is equal to the sum of the masses of the components.

m(sample) = m(iron) + m(sand) + m(salt)

m(salt) = m(sample) - m(iron) - m(sand)

m(salt) = 2.875 g - 0.660 g - 1.161 g

m(salt) = 1.054 g

Step 3: Calculate the percent of salt in the sample

We will use the following expression.

%(salt) = m(salt) / m(sample) × 100%

%(salt) = 1.054 g / 2.875 g × 100% = 36.66%

For the closed system below: Cu(s) + 2Ag+(aq) 2Ag(s) + Cu2+(aq) How would you know if the system is at equilibrium?
zaharov [31]
For the chemical reactiom to be at equilibrium:
1- The rate of forward reaction must be equal to the rate of the reverse reaction.
2- The mass of EACH element must be equal before and after the reaction (no NET change in mass), otherwise the equilibrium will shift.

Important note: you need to check the mass of each element before and after the reaction (i.e, reactants side and products side) and the not the mass of the system as a whole. This is because the mass of the whole system will be preserved whether the system is at equilibrium or not (this is the fundamental law of mass conservation)

What is the volume of 0.200 mol of an ideal gas at 200. kPa and 400. K?
gregori [183]

The ideal gas under STP is 22.4 L/mol. While the gas has a rule of P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2. So the volume under 101 kPa and 273 K is 0.2*22.4=4.48 L.
