Lastly, Snape thinks we should try one more calculation. What is the retention factor if the distance travelled by the solvent f

ront is 2.00 cm, and the distance the ion is from the solvent front is 0.20 cm?
Hint: Be careful with how Snape worded this question.

Answer:

The retention factor of an ion is 0.10 .

Explanation:

Retention factor is defined as ratio of distance of distance traveled by solute to the distance traveled by solvent on chromatogram.

R_f=\frac{d_{solute}}{d_{solvent}}

We have:

d_{solute}=d_{ion}=0.20 cm

d_{solven}=2.00 cm

The retention factor of an ion :

R_f=\frac{0.20 cm}{2.00 cm}=0.10

Octanol is slightly soluble in water, and water is very soluble in octanol. why is it important to presaturate octanol with wate
notsponge [240]

N-Octanol and water are chosen because the connection between a substance's hydrophilicity and lipophilicity is measured by K_{OW} (n-Octanol/Water partition coefficient). When a chemical is more dissolves in fat-like solvents like n-octanol, the value is more significant than one,  when it's more dissolved in water, the value is lower.

What is the partition coefficient?

  • The partition coefficient for the two-phase network comprising n-octanol and water is known as the K_{OW} value. N-Octanol-Water Partition Ratio is another name for it.
  • The connection between a substance's hydrophilicity (its ability to dissolve in water) and lipophilicity (its ability to dissolve in fat) is measured by K_{OW}. The value is bigger if a drug is more accessible in fat-like liquids like n-octanol and less if a compound seems more water-soluble.
  • Owing to linkage or fragmentation, substances that are involved in the octanol-water combination as multiple synthetic entities are each given a unique K_{OW} ratio.

So, N-Octanol is chosen because it has a carbon/oxygen ratio that is comparable to that of lipids and because it shows both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties. N-octanol, therefore, resembles the makeup and characteristics of cells and other living things.

After some wood has completely burned in a fire, some of the matter that made up the wood has been destroyed.
nekit [7.7K]
The correct answer is D - When burning a log, the wood combined its components with oxygen. if you could capture the products (CO2, H2O, C, CO, etc), you would have a greater mass than what you started with, burning the log combined the log's components with oxygen in order to burn it.

Do wind up clocks need batteries? -like the non wired ones.
Sphinxa [80]
No, why? Cause if you're winding up the clock it's basically doing what it needs to do. So there's no need for batteries.. I hope my sad sentence make sense :p
