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

he developing liquid is higher than the applied spot in a TLC analysis?
Chemistry

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.

What is the mass of a magnesium block that measures 2.00 cm
skad [1K]

Answer:

m = 31.284 grams

Explanation:

Given that,

The dimension of a magnesium block is 2.00 cm  x 3.00 cm x 3.00 cm.

The density of magnesium is, d = 1.738 g/cm³

We need to find the mass of the magnesium block. We know that the density of an object is given by its mass per unit its volume. So,

d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\\text{Where m=mass}\\\\m=d\times V\\\\m=1.738\ g/cm^3\times (2\times 3\times 3)\ cm^3\\\\m=31.284\ \text{grams}

So, the mass of the block is 31.284 grams.

A compound consisting of B, N, and H undergoes elemental analysis. The % composition by mass is found to be 40.28% B, 52.20% N,
swat32

Empirical formula is the simplest ratio of components making up a compound.

The percentage composition of each element has been given

therefore the mass present of each element in 100 g of compound is

                      B                                   N                         H

mass          40.28 g                         52.20 g                 7.53 g

number of moles  

                 40.28 g / 11 g/mol      52.20 g / 14 g/mol    7.53 g / 1 g/mol

                = 3.662 mol                  = 3.729 mol             = 7.53 mol

divide the number of moles by the least number of moles, that is 3.662

                3.662 / 3.662              3.729 / 3.662              7.53 / 3.662

               = 1.000                           = 1.018                        = 2.056

the ratio of the elements after rounding off to the nearest whole number is

B : N : H = 1 : 1 : 2

therefore empirical formula for the compound is B₁N₁H₂          

that can be written as BNH₂

wel

INFORMATION:

We must find the number of valence electrons for magnesium

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:

In order to know the number of valence electrons for Mg, we need to locate the element in the periodic table

Since Mg is in the second group of the periodic table, it has two valence electrons.

Cuántos mililitros de agua hay en 3 litros de una botella de naranjas y las solucion tiene una concentracion de 20% v/v
sertanlavr [38]

Respuesta:

2400 mL

Explicación:

Paso 1: Información dada

  • Volumen de solución: 3 L (3000 mL)
  • Concentración de naranja: 20 % v/v

Paso 2: Calcular el volumen de naranja

La concentración de naranja es de 20 % v/v, es decir, cada 100 mL de solución hay 20 mL de naranja.

3000 mL Sol × 20 mL Naranja/100 mL Solución = 600 mL Naranja

Paso 3: Calcular el volumn de agua

El volumen de soluciónes igual a la suma de los volúmenes de naranja y agua.

VSolución = VNaranja + VAgua

VAgua = VSolución - VNaranja

VAgua = 3000 mL - 600 mL = 2400 mL
