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.

2. Suggest four ways in which the concentration of PH3 could be increased in an equilibrium described by the following equation:
Nesterboy [21]

Answer

  • increase in temperature
  • decrease in pressure
  • continuous removal of PH3
  • adding more of P into the system

Explanation:

        In the reaction   P4(g)+6H2(g) ⇌ 4PH3(g);

  • The effect of temperature on equilibrium has to do with the heat of reaction. Recall that for an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed in the reaction, and the value of ΔH is positive. Thus, for an endothermic reaction, we can picture heat as being a reactant:

        heat+A⇌BΔH=+

  • Since the reaction is endothermic reaction, heat is a absorbed. Decreasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the left, while increasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium to the right forming more of PH3.
  • According to Le Chatelier’s principle, adding additional reactant to a system will shift the equilibrium to the right, towards the side of the products. In the same Way, reducing the concentration of the product will also shift equilibrium to the right continually forming PH3 as it is removed.

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Chemical science arises in the seventeenth century from the studies of alchemy popular among many of the scientists of the time. The basic principles of chemistry are considered to be collected for the first time in the work of the British scientist Robert Boyle: The Skeptical Chemist (1661).

PLEASE HELP!!<br><br> How does temperature, agitation, and particle size affect solubility?
Rashid [163]

Answer:

At higher temperatures, particles move faster and collide more, increasing solubility rates.

Agitation increases solubility rates as well, by bringing fresh solvent into contact with the undissolved solute

The smaller the particle size, the higher (faster) solubility rate. Vice versa, the bigger the particle size, the lower (slower) solubility rate.
