Answer:

The open system evaporates the solvent in the solution

Explanation:

An open system is a system in which exchange of materials and energy can occur. If a TLC set up is left open, then the set up constitutes an open system.

During TLC, the sample is dotted on the plate and inserted into a suitable solvent. The solvent moves up the plate and achieves the required separation of the mixture.

Most of these solvents used used TLC are volatile organic compounds. Therefore, if the TLC set up is left open, the solvent will evaporate leading to poor results after running the TLC experiment.

Which type of matter is composed or two or more elements that are chemically combined in a fixed proportion?
lions [1.4K]
Hello.

When dealing with two or more elements in a fixed proportion, your answer is going to be "B.) Compound." The explanation is pretty basic when you narrow it down - think of it like the English version of a compound sentence; there are two independent clauses that have related ideas (such as this one, for example).

Let's use an example of a compound element, such as H_{2}O, or Water.
This is a compound element that is composed of the two elements "Hydrogen" and "Oxygen" - for every 2 Hydrogen atoms there is one Oxygen atom.

I hope this helps!

Naturally occurring iron contains:
Serga [27]
The average atomic mass of iron is the sum of the products of the percentage abundance and masses of the isotopes. That is,
         average atomic mass = 0.0582 x 53.940 amu + 0.9166 x 55.935 amu + 0.0219 x 56.935 amu + 0.0033 x 57.933 amu = 55.847 amu
Thus, the average atomic mass of iron is approximately 55.847 amu.

What’s the origin of a meteor shower?
Nady [450]

Answer: I read about this in science once...

Explanation:

Shower meteors come from the dust released by comets as they travel through our solar system. The dust spreads out along the comet's orbit and forms an elliptical trail of debris that passes around the sun and crosses the orbits of the planets.

Using the chemical equation below, how many grams of Fe produce when 7 moles of Fe2O3 are reacted ? 2Al+Fe2O3 —> Al2O3+2Fe
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

784 g.

Explanation:

Since 1 mole of Fe_2O_3 gives us 2 moles of $Fe$, 7 moles $Fe_2O_3$ will give us 14 moles of $Fe$

Molar mass of $Fe$= 56 g/mol

Thus, mass of 14 moles is $14 \times 56= \boxed{784}$
