Answer:
Hexane should be used first.
Explanation:
Chromatography is a method of separating the constituents of a mixture by taking advantage of their different rates of movement in a solvent over an adsorbent medium. Chromatography is a means of separation and analysis that utilises fractional separation. It is based on the principle that if a fluid containing a number of substances is allowed to pass though an adsorbent medium, the different substances in the fluid may travel at different rates and be separated.
The rate of movement depends on the relative affinities of the constituents for the solvent and adsorbent medium. i.e solutes which are weakly adsorbed by the adsorbent medium are easily redissolved by the ascending solvent and quickly travel up the adsorbent medium. In addition to that , solutes which are very soluble in the solvent move up at a faster rate than those which are not soluble.
In column Chromatography;
A non-polar solvent should be initiated and applied first. This is because , in a column chromatography, a non-polar compound will be removed at first then later polar compound.
Assuming a polar compound is used first, the polar compounds will be removed alongside with all the non-polar compounds.
From the two Compounds given;
We know that :
Hexane is a non-polar compound and Methylene chloride is a polar compound. As such, Hexane should be used first.
Answer: Homogeneous mixture
Explanation:
Homogeneous mixtures are those mixtures in which the dispersed phase is uniformly distributed throughout the dispersion medium. The dispersed phase has uniform composition throughout the dispersion medium and thus there is no physical boundary between the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium. Example: salt in water
Heterogeneous mixtures are those mixtures in which the dispersed phase is not uniformly distributed throughout the dispersion medium. The dispersed phase does not has uniform composition throughout the dispersion medium and thus there is a distinct physical boundary between the dispersed phase and the dispersion medium. Example: Sand in water
Answer: the line Spectra of hydrogen lies between the ultra-violet, visible light and infra-red of the electro magnetic spectrum
Explanation:
Electromagnetic radiation spans an wide range of wavelengths and frequencies. This range is called the electromagnetic spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum is generally divided into seven regions, in order of decreasing wavelength and increasing energy and frequency. The 7 regions includes; radio waves, microwaves, infrared (IR), visible light, ultraviolet (UV), X-rays and gamma rays.
lower-energy radiation, such as radio waves, is expressed as frequency while microwaves, infrared, visible and UV light are usually expressed as wavelength and finally, higher-energy radiation such as X-rays and gamma rays, is expressed in terms of energy per photon.
Therefore, hydrogen lies between the ultra-violet, visible light and infra-red region of the electro magnetic spectrum.
