Solids have a dignified structure. The particles are stuck together causing them to not flow. Liquids and gases have particles that move around so they can take the shape of their container.

Which two physical properties allow a mixture to be separated by chromatography
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:


                 Option-1 (Solubility and Molecular polarity) is the correct answer.


Explanation:


                        Thin Layer Chromatography is employed to separate a mixture of non volatile compounds. In this technique an adsorbent material like silica gel is coated on a plastic, glass or aluminium sheet. Then the mixture of compounds is applied at the bottom of sheet and the sheet is placed in the container containing a solvent system. It is observed that the solvent starts travelling upward through capillary action.


While the solvent is running the mixture of compounds starts separating from each other. This separation is due to following physical properties.


1) Solubility of Mixture in Solvent:

                                                          In a mixture those compounds which has more solubility in solvent will travel more and will give greater Rf value and the less soluble will left behind with smaller Rf value. Hence due to solubility a mixture of compounds can be separated.


2) Polarity of Molecules:

                                          As the stationary phase (adsorbent material) is polar in nature, so in mixture those compounds which are less polar will less interact with the stationary phase and will travel more with greater Rf value, while, more polar molecules will form stronger interactions with the stationary phase, hence will travel less and therefore, will show smaller Rf values.

The building blocks of the universe are called ______.
Morgarella [4.7K]

"<u>Nuclei</u> " are called as building blocks of the universe.

Option: D

<u>Explanation</u>:

Smallest unit of this universe was considered to be an atom but “Rutherford 's Nuclear Model of Atom” in 1911 discovered nucleus which is small and heavy positively charged body present in center of atom. An atom also have extra nuclear part which is space around nucleus, where electrons (negative charged) are distributed. Nucleus is contained with protons (positive charged) and neutrons (neutral) which are definitely very smaller than nuclei but as a building unit or block of the universe nuclei is considered.

2Pb(s) + O2(aq) + 4H+(aq) → 2H2O(l) + 2Pb2+(aq)
defon

Answer:

The answer to your question is 0.269 g of Pb

Explanation:

Data

Lead solution = 0.000013 M

Volume = 100 L

mass = 0.269 g

atomic mass Pb = 207.2 g

Chemical reaction

                        2Pb(s) + O₂(aq) + 4H⁺(aq) → 2H₂O(l) + 2Pb₂⁺(aq)

Process

1.- Calculate the mass of Pb in solution

Formula

Molarity = \frac{number of moles}{volume}

Solve for number of moles

Number of moles = Volume x Molarity

Substitution

Number of moles = 100 x 0.000013

Number of moles = 0.0013

2.- Calculate the mass of Pb formed.

                       207.2 g of Pb ----------------- 1 mol

                             x g             ----------------- 0.0013 moles

                        x = (0.0013 x 207.2) / 1

                        x = 0.269 g of Pb

(20 Pt.s) Guys! You have to explain:
Nadya [2.5K]

Weakly basic drugs behaves different from acidic drugs which is discussed below.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>:</h3>

Weakly basic drugs are those drugs which have an amine group associated with them. They are able to gain a proton to be come positively charged.

So drugs like quinine, ephedrine and aminopyrine which are basic got completely ionised in stomach.

The stomach can absorb those compounds which are lipid soluble. The acidic drugs like alcohols, Salicylic acid, aspirin, thiopental, secobarbital and antipyrine etc which are acidic gets absorbed by means of <em>diffusion</em> through the membrane.

But the basic drugs have charges on them which makes them lipophobic. So they cannot get absorbed through stomach. However weakly basic drugs sometimes get absorbed depending on their ionisation extent.

The rest goes to small intestine which has basic environment and there they gets absorbed via diffusion or facilitated diffusion.
