Answer :

The correct answer is no color will observed if a pure substance is analyzed ,

Chromatography :

It is a technique commonly used to separate a mixture of chemical substances based on their affinity with stationary phase and mobile phase .

The mobile phase travels through the stationary phase in a definite direction . The component of mixture travels along with mobile according to their affinity , ionic interactions , diffusion , solubility on stationary phase .

The component has more affinity with mobile phase goes higher with mobile phase .

While component with stationary phase remain at lower position on stationary phase .

This is how separation of components takes place.

A pure substance has only one type of component in it . There is no mixture of components.

Hence when pure substance will be analyzed by chromatography technique, there will be no separation of components .

So there will no color be observed.

For separation of components of mixture chromatography technique is used. Parts of mixture are separated by using the different solubilities of the parts for a stationary phase (that does not move) compared to the mobile phase (that carries the parts). Due to capillary action, the solvent will move up with paper or plate in apparatus. The mobile phase will move with solvent and the stationary phase will remain adhere to the paper or plate. And thus, giving separate colors for the substances present in the mixture.

Hence, for pure substance, only one color would be observed through chromatography.

The forensic technician at a crime scene has just prepared a luminol stock solution by adding 13.0 g of luminol into a total vol

Andrews [41]

Answer:

0.978 M

Explanation:

Given data

Mass of luminol (solute): 13.0 g

Volume of the solution = volume of water: 75.0 mL = 0.0750 L

We can find the molarity of the stock solution of luminol using the following expression.

M = mass of solute / molar mass of solute × liters of solution

M = 13.0 g / 177.16 g/mol × 0.0750 L

M = 0.978 M

g Select the correct statements. I. Reduction is the loss of electrons, and oxidation is the gain of electrons II. Reduction is

Karolina [17]

Answer: The correct answer is Option D.

Explanation:

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. Here, the oxidation state of the substance decreases.

$X^{n+}+ne^-\rightarrow X$

Oxidizing agents are the agents that helps in the oxidation of other substance and itself gets reduced. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. Here, oxidation state of the substance increases.

$X\rightarrow X^{n+}+ne^-$

Reducing agents are the agents that helps in the reduction of the other substance and itself gets oxidized. These agents undergoes reduction reactions.

Oxidation state is the number which is given to an atom when it looses or gains electron. It is written as a superscript. In a compound, the total charge is equal to the sum of the charges of all atoms in that compound. For Example: In $MnO_4^-$ , manganese has +7 oxidation number and oxygen has -2.

So, the charge on the compound = $[=7+(4\times (-2))]=-1$

Hence, the correct answer is Option D.

How do you determine the proper number of significant figures of a liquid using a graduated cylinder

Aleksandr [31]

You determine the correct number of significant figure of a measurement in a graduated cylinder by looking at the smallest division on the graduated cylinder. If the division is divided up to the ones place, you can still read the half of that division or the .50 measurement. So, you can have until the tenths place in your measurement.
