Answer:

Explanation:

Solids have a fixed shape and occupy a fixed volume. because the particles in liquid are so close together,liquids do'not easily compress,so their volume is fixed. gases can also flow, so they occupy the shape of the whole container.

What is the mass of a steel cylinder that has a density of 75.0 g/ml and a volume of 12 ml?

liubo4ka [24]

Density can be calculated using the following rule:
Density = mass / volume

Therefore:
mass = density * volume

We are given that:
Density = 75 g/ml
volume = 12 ml

Substitute with these givens in the equation to get the mass as follows:
mass = density * volume
mass = 75 * 12
mass = 900 g

A student chromatographs a mixture and after developing the spots with a suitable reagent he observes the following

Anika [276]

Rf value is the ratio of the distance traveled by the solute to that of the solvent front on the paper used in chromatographic separation.

From the image it is clear the distance traveled by solvent front = 7.3 cm

Distance traveled by the component -1 of the mixture = 1.4 cm

Distance traveled by the component -2 of the mixture = 3.0 cm

Distance traveled by the component -3 of the mixture = 4.5 cm

Distance traveled by the component -4 of the mixture = 6.5 cm

Rf value of component-1 = $\frac{1.4 cm}{7.3 cm} =0.192$

Rf value of component-2 = $\frac{3.0 cm}{7.3 cm} =0.410$

Rf value of component-3 = $\frac{4.5 cm}{7.3 cm} =0.616$

Rf value of component-4 = $\frac{6.5 cm}{7.3 cm} =0.890$

b) Samples can be separated from a mixture using chromatography as the relative affinities for the compounds towards the paper (stationary phase) and the solvent(mobile phase) are different. Each component spends different amounts of time on the stationary phase depending on it chemical nature. So, the components in a mixture can be separated based on their polarities and relative degrees of adsorption on the stationary phase.
