Answer: The
value is 0.664
Explanation:
Distance travelled by solvent front = (7.7-1.45)cm = 6.25 cm
Distance travelled by unknown = (5.6-1.45) cm = 4.15 cm
The retention factor or the
value is defined as the ratio of distance traveled by the unknown to the distance traveled by the solvent front.
Thus the
value is 0.664
The symbol for dinitrogen trisulfide is N2S3
The problem you have written you almost have it solved. Take the moles that you have calculated and multiply that by the molecular weight to get the grams.
The STP problem:
use the moles you calculated along with 1 atm for Pressure, and 273 for the temperature and plug into the PV = nRT equation. (also use 0.0821 for R)
From there you can solve for the volume
Hope this helps!
Characteristic properties are used because the sample size and the shape of the substance does not matter.
