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

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.

leva [86]

Answer:

Scientific models are used to explain phenomena that can not be experience directly and it is also used for prediction.

Explanation:

An example of idea model is the Eistein equation.  An idea model shows how things interact together to produce a particular result.

An example of physical model is the solar system.

Computer model is used to predict long term events and an example of this is computer simulations.

natulia [17]

Answer:

B) sand

Explanation:

A) Oil is a wrong choice because it is a liquid not a solid and also if it is oil, it will float over the water surface as a droplets.

B) Sand is the right choice, because sand is a solid and it does not dissolve in water and stabilizes at the bottom.

C) Sugar is a wrong choice, because small amount of sugar will dissolve in water and be a homogeneous solution and does not appear as a particles.

fredd [130]

Answer:

Tamoxifen is an irreversible, competitive inhibitor.

Explanation:

In order to binds to the active site of the estrogen receptor protein, tamoxifen have to compete with the other chemical compound, and inhibits the estrogen release, so it is a competitive inhibitor. Then, you said that when tamoxifen binds to the receptor,  the protein is permanently deactivated, so it is also irreversible.
