Why do you start with the least polar solvent/solvent mixture and progress to increasing polar solvent/solvent mixtures when elu

ting the ferrocene compounds from the column rather than starting with more polar solvent system and progressing to less polar solvents

Explanation:

Generally in normal phase column, inside the column silica gel present is in normal phase and it strongly reacts or combine with more polar ferrocene compounds. Whereas, less polar ferrocene compounds weakly interact with this silica gel.  

Hence, on starting with least polar solvent or solvent-mixture the less polar ferrocene compounds will tend to elute first of all because these will weakly interact with the silica gel. Therefore, readily able to move away from the gel.

On increasing the polarity of solvent or solvent mixture, more polar ferrocene compounds will start to elute first. As a result, on changing the solvent polarity we can (from least to more polar) it is possible to get pure products.

But if we start with more polar solvent at first then almost all of the ferrocene compounds will elute leading to poor separation from the column due to which you will end up having a mixture of ferrocene compounds.

How many grams of O2 are needed to react with 18.2 g of NH3?
erastova [34]

Answer:

44 g oxygen are needed.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oxygen needed = ?

Mass of ammonia = 18.2 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

4NH₃ + 5O₂   →  4NO + 6H₂O

Now we will calculate the number of moles of ammonia:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 18.2 g/ 17 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.1 mol

Now we will compare the moles of ammonia with oxygen from balance chemical equation.

                        NH₃              :                O₂

                          4                 :                 5

                          1.1                :              5/4×1.1 = 1.375 mol

Mass of oxygen needed:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.375 mol × 32 g/mol

Mass = 44 g

The volume of a gas is the same as its _____.
AleksandrR [38]

The volume of a gas is the same as its CONTAINER.

Gases generally has no shape and no definite volume. When a gas is placed in a container, the gas usually takes the shape and the volume of the container, that is, the gas fills up all the available spaces in the container. Thus, the volume of a gas will always be the same as its container. This is in contrast with solids, which have definite shape and volume and liquids, which have definite volume but no fixed shape.

A fixed mass of oxygen gas occupies 300cm cube at 0 degree centigrade. what volume would the gas occupy at 15 degree centigrade​
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

Volume occupied by oxygen gas at 15 degree centigrade​ is equal to 316.5 centimeter cube

Explanation:

Assuming Pressure is constant.

\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \frac{V_2}{T_2}

where T1 and T2 are temperature in Kelvin

Substituting the give values we get-

\frac{300}{273} = \frac{V_2}{288}

V_2 = \frac{288*300}{273} \\V_2 = 316.5

Volume occupied by oxygen gas at 15 degree centigrade​ is equal to 316.5 centimeter cube
