Answer:

M_f=38.8\%

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Pressure P=747mmHg

Temperature T=298K

Volume V=11.1

Heat Produced Q=780kJ

Generally the equation for ideal gas is mathematically given by

 PV=nRT

 n= (747/760) *11.1/ (0.0821*298)

 n=0.446mol

Therefore

 x+y=0.446

 x=0.446-y .....1

Since

Heat of combustion of Methane=889 kJ/mol

Heat of combustion of Propane=2220 kJ/mol

Therefore

 x(889) + y(2220) = 760 ...... 2

Comparing Equation 1 and 2 and solving simultaneously

 x=0.446-y .....1

 x(889) + y(2220) = 760 ...... 2

 x=0.173

 y=0.273

Therefore

Mole fraction 0f Methane is mathematically given as

 M_f=\frac{x}{n}*100\%

 M_f=\frac{1.173}{0.446}*100\%

 M_f=38.8\%

Why must the spot applied to a TLC plate be above the level of the developing solvent? What problem will ensue if the level of t
algol13

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

If the spot in TLC is below the solvent front, it will be observed that the spot, instead of being separated by the solvent as expected, will just dissolve away in the solvent and zero actual separation of the mixture is achieved.

If the solute is dissolved away instead of being separated by the solvent, then the experiment fails because no actual separation of the mixture is achieved.

Hence, in TLC, the spot must be applied above the solvent front so that the capillary movement of the solvent through the plate can lead to the eventual separation of the components of the mixture since the various components of the mixture will travel at different speeds through the plate.

Also, if the solvent is above the spot, the solvent may evaporate selectively from the points above the spot while separation is ongoing.
