In a thin layer chromatography experiment, a plate of length 9.3 cm was used and a horizontal line was made at 1.45 cm above the

bottom of the plate. After running the experiment (developing and drying), a spot was observed at 5.6 cm from the bottom of the plate, and the solvent front was 7.7 cm from the bottom of the plate. What is the Rf value

Answer: The R_f value is 0.664

Explanation:

Distance travelled by solvent front = (7.7-1.45)cm = 6.25 cm

Distance travelled by unknown = (5.6-1.45) cm = 4.15 cm

 The retention factor or the R_f value is defined as the ratio of distance traveled by the unknown to the distance traveled by the solvent front.

R_f=\frac{\text {distance travelled by unknown}}{\text {distance travelled by solvent}}

R_f=\frac{4.15}{6.25}=0.664

Thus the R_f value is 0.664

valina [46]
Chemical reaction is a process in which one set of chemical substances (reactants) is converted into another (products). It involves making and breaking chemical bonds and the rearrangement of atoms. Chemical reactions are represented by balanced chemical equations, with chemical formulas symbolizing reactants and products. For specific chemical reactants, two questions may be posed about a possible chemical reaction. First, will a reaction occur? Second, what are the possible products if a reaction occurs? This

Which best explains how heat plays a role in the movement of materials within Earth's interior?
Tema [17]

Answer:

Hot material near Earth's surface is more dense and sinks, and when it cools, it becomes less dense and rises.

Explanation:

Convection is a process by which less dense material rises and more dense material sinks near Earth's surface. Water, air, rocks and other materials expands when temperature rises and they become less dense. When the water is heated it becomes vapors and carries away thermal energy from the water.

One tank of gold fish is fed the normal amount of food once a day. A second tank is fed twice a day. A third tank is fed four ti
Arturiano [62]

The question is incomplete, the complete question is;

One tank of goldfish is feed the normal amount which is once a day, a second tank is fed twice a day, and a third tank is fed four times a day during a 6 week study. The fishes' body fat is recorded daily.

Independent Variable-

Dependent Variable-

Constants

Control Group-

Answer:

A) The amount of food the gold fish receives

B) Body fat of the gold fish

C) -Type of fish used in the study (gold fish)

Time period within which the fishes were fed (Six week period)

Shape and size of tank

D) group of gold fish fed the normal amount

Explanation:

The purpose of the study is to determined the impact of amount of feed on the body fat of gold fish. Hence, the amount of feed is the independent variable while the body fat of the feed is the dependent variable.

The control group receives the normal amount of feed (once a day). The fishes are all gold fish, fed within a six week period. All the tanks were of the same shape and size. These are the constants in the study.

We have a sample of water vapor which cools from 150 °C to 125 °C. What happens to the motion of the molecules during this time
pentagon [3]

The motion of the molecules decreases.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • Gases are formed when the energy in a system overcomes the attractive forces between the molecules. The gases expand to fill the space they occupy. In this way, the gas molecules interact little. In the gaseous state, the molecules move very quickly. As the temperature decreases, the amount of movement of the individual molecules also decreases.
  • The fast-moving particle slows down. When a particle speeds up, it has more kinetic energy. When a particle slows down, it has less kinetic energy. The particles in solid form are commonly connected through electrostatic powers. They don't get enough space to move around, therefore, their speed diminishes, they can't keep their standard speed like in the vaporous or fluid state.
