Which is the correct statement regarding the relative Rf values of the starting methyl benzoate vs the product, methyl m-nitrobe

nzoate on a silica gel TLC plate. The product has a higher Rf value on a silica gel TLC plate because it is less polar than the starting methyl benzoate. The product has a lower Rf value on a silica gel TLC plate because it is less polar than the starting methyl benzoate. The product has a higher Rf value on a silica gel TLC plate because it is more polar than the starting methyl benzoate.

Answer:

1. The product has a higher Rf value on a silica gel TLC plate because it is more polar than the starting methyl benzoate.

2. False

3. True

Explanation:

In chromatography, there is a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The ratio of the distance moved by a component and the distance moved by the solvent gives the retention factor (Rf).

Since silica gel is a polar solvent, it will retain the more polar product methyl m-nitrobenzoate compared to the methyl benzoate starting material.

In comparing the electrophillic aromatic substitution of m-nitrobenzoate  and methyl benzoate, we must remember that the presence of electron withdrawing groups (such as -NO2 and -CHO) on the aromatic compound deactivates the compound towards electrophillic aromatic substitution hence, methyl m-nitrobenzoate is less reactive than methyl benzoate in Electrophilic Aromatic Substition and Methyl benzoate is less reactive than benzene in Electrophilic Aromatic Substition

Elaborate on how to classify elements and pure compounds.
tankabanditka [31]

Answer: C) Elements and pure compounds are homogeneous materials because they have a uniform composition throughout.

Explanation: Element is a pure substance which is composed of atoms of similar elements. Compound is a pure substance which is made from atoms of different elements combined together in a fixed ratio by mass.

Elements are compounds form homogeneous materials as they have uniform composition throughout and the components are evenly distributed throughout the material.

Mixtures are heterogeneous materials as they do not have uniform composition and the components are not evenly distributed throughout the material.

Atoms are not drawn to scale. Molecules of compounds have atoms of two or more different elements. For example, water (H2O) has three atoms, two hydrogen (H) atoms and one oxygen (O) atom. Methane (CH4), a common greenhouse gas, has five atoms, one of carbon (C) and four of hydrogen (H, see Fig.

1.5L of water is boiled to steam at a temperature of 100°C and creates 3.5atm of pressure on the container. How many moles of st
Anna71 [15]

Answer: 1.7 moles

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of water V = 1.5L

(since 1 liter = 1dm3

1.5L = 1.5dm3)

Temperature T = 100°C

Convert Celsius to Kelvin

(100°C + 273 = 373K)

Pressure P = 3.5 atm

Number of moles of steam N = ?

Note that Molar gas constant R is a constant with a value of 0.0082 ATM dm3 K-1 mol-1

Then, apply ideal gas equation

pV = nRT

3.5atm x 1.5dm3 = n x (0.0082 ATM dm3 K-1 mol-1 x 373K)

5.25 = n x 3.06

n = 5.25/3.06

n = 1.7 moles

Thus, 1.7 moles of steam is present

How are ions formed?
stepan [7]

Hey there!

Your answer is c. by the transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another.

Ions can be positive or negative. Positive ions are called cations, and negative ions are called anions.

Electrons are transferred because two atoms have a large difference of electronegativity and the electrons are shared so unequally that the electrons are completely transferred from one atom to another, forming ions.

Hope this helps!
