Answer:

Paper chromatography is a basic technique of chromatography. It consist in the separation of the mixe components using a solvent.

Explanation:

Paper chromatography is a basic technique of chromatography. It consists in the separation of the mixed components using a solvent.

Paper chromatography consists of put some dot of the mix using a glass capillary into a specialized paper, generally made of cellulose, this is called a stationary phase.

Then you put this paper into a camera of glass named, chromatography camera, where previously contain a solvent. The solvent also know as a mobile phase, the type can be defined before the test and involves a study of the kind of the mix, and the compound you want to separate.

The chromatography camera has to be closed all the time during the test, and you can't move at all because the movement of the solvent can alternate the result.

Very often, the solution of the solvent is a mix of different liquid substances with different polarities.

When the stationary phase put into the camera, the solvent starts to move up over the paper, until the separation of the compounds is observable.

the Rf is a value who relates the move of the mobile phase with the move of the distance traveled by the substance tested.

To undersant the paper chromatography, you can watch the images attached.

The first is an image of the chromatography camera.

The second one is an image of a cellulose paper after the chromatography is done. You can watch the dots who indicates the traveling of the compound across the paper.

The third one can show you the evolutions of paper chromatography, from the beginning to the end.

To calculate the Rf value you have to use the equation:

Rf = distance traveled by the substance/distance traveled by the solvent/

<u>Rf = 52mm/81mm =0.64</u>

Starch and cellulose are both produced by plants, yet one is easily digested by animals and the other is not. Discuss the differ
Nadusha1986 [10]
<span>Starch and cellulose have the same substance but different structures. They are both polysaccharides. The basic unit of a polysaccharide is the glucose. Glucose, which contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, have two forms. The alpha-glucose with an alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is down and the beta-glucose with the alcohol group attached to carbon 1 is up. Starch is the alpha-glucose while cellulose is the beta-glucose. Starches are linked into a straight chain whereas the cellulose are connected like a pile of stack paper. When the human body eats starch, it can digest the starch but not the cellulose because it has no enzyme that can break it down. </span>

Is 2 KNO₃ + H₂CO₃ → K₂CO₃ + 4 HNO₃ a balanced equation
krok68 [10]

Hey there!

The elements in this equation are K, N, O, H, and C.

Let's count how many of each are on each side to see if it is balanced.

K: 2 on the left, 2 on the right.

<em>N: 2 on the left, 4 on the right. </em>

<em>O: 9 on the left, 6 on the right. </em>

<em>H: 2 on the left, 4 on the right. </em>

C: 1 on the left, 1 on the right.

Notice that there are different amounts of N, O, and H on the left side and the right side.

This means that the equation is not balanced.

Hope this helps!

What is the molar mass of just the O in CO2?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

16 g/mol

Explanation:

In CO2, it means we have 1 mole of carbon and 2 moles of oxygen.

However, we want to find the molar mass of just a single mole of oxygen.

Now, from tables of values of elements in electronic configuration, the molar mass of oxygen is usually approximately 16 g/mol.

In essence the molar mass is simply the atomic mass in g/mol

2C4 H10 + 13O2 -→ 8CO2 + 10H2O If 356 moles of O2 are available to react, how many moles of CO2 will fom?
nlexa [21]

Answer:

Answer:

The mole ratio of C₄H₁₀ and CO₂ is 2 : 8, which  simplifies to 1 : 4.

Explanation:

The mole ratio is the relative proportion of the moles of products or reactants that participate in the reaction according to the chemical equation.

The chemical equation given is:

2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ → 8CO₂ + 10H₂O

Once you check that the equation is balanced, you can set the mole ratios for all the reactants and products. The coefficients used in front of each reactant and product, in the balanced chemical equation, tells the mole ratios.

In this case, they are: 2 mol C₄H₁₀ :  13 mol O₂ : 8 mol CO₂ : 10 mol H₂O

Since you are asked about the mole ratio of C₄H₁₀ and CO₂ it is:

2 mol C₄H₁₀ : 8 mol CO₂ , which dividing by 2, simplifies to

1 mol C₄H₁₀ : 4 mol CO₂, or

1 : 2.
