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.

Juliette [100K]

1. This can be due to the dissolving of the solid in liquid and form a solution.

Dissolving is a physical property because dissolving doesn't form new substances and the chemical composition of the solid is not changed.

The color building up over the time can be due to the rate of dissolving of the solid and amount of particles have been dissolved.

Example:

  • Dissolving of CuSO₄ solid in water.
  • This develops a blue color.

2. This can be due to the chemical reaction between the solid and liquid.

Chemical reaction is a chemical property because from reacting substances new substances can be formed which the chemical formula is different from initial substances.

The color building up over the time can be due to the rate of the reaction and the amount of reactants.

Example:

  • The reaction between calcium metal with water.
  • The color of Ca(OH)₂ is white color.
  • Reaction is

       Ca(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + H₂(g)

poizon [28]

excitatory amino acids are the amino acids helps in transformation of neurotransmitters or it helps in transmission of synapsis rapidly in brain of mammal. EAA known to be neurotransmitters for Central nervous system.

Excitatory amino acids count may vary from 50’s to 100’s. They are mostly composed of non-protein- amino acids obtained from algae or fungi.

The possible EAAs are Glutamate (Glu) and Aspartate which act as excitatory neurotransmitters in the brain. They get released from neurons where they induce excitation via metabotropic Glu receptors.  

Both glutamate and aspartate having excitatory effect on neurotransmission whereas Gama-amino butyric acid having inhibitory effect on neurotransmission.

Thus, the statement ‘neurotransmitters are chemical brother of gaba’ is indicating the complementary effect of each other.
