C. 4 decorated cupcakes.
Because 12 divided by 3 = 4, so you can have 4 cupcakes each with 3 cherries
Explanation:
The formula mass of a molecule (also known as formula weight) is the sum of the atomic weights of the atoms in the empirical formula of the compound.
a. NO2
N = 14
O = 16
NO2 = 14 + (16 * 2) = 46 amu
b. C4H10
Empirical formular = C2H5
C = 12
H = 1
C2H5 = (12*1) + (1*5) = 12 + 5 = 17 amu
c. C6H12O6
Empirical formular = CH2O
C = 12
H = 1
O = 16
C2H5 = 12 + (1*2) + 16 = 30 amu
d MgBr2
Mg = 24
Br = 80
MgBr2 = 24 + (80*2) = 184 amu
e. HNO2
H = 1
N= 14
0 = 16
HNO2 = 1 + 14 + (16*2) = 47 amu
f. CBr4
C= 12
Br = 80
CBr4 = 12 + (80*4) = 332 amu
g. Cr(NO3)3
Cr = 52
N = 14
O = 16
Cr(NO3)3 = 52 + 3[14 + (3*16)] = 238 amu
Explanation:
the stationary phase in TLC is a <u>silica gel coated metal plate or paper</u>.
The<u> individual</u> component of the mixure will travel a greater distance up the plate, resulting in a <u>Rf</u> value for the component.
the <u>p-Xylene spot </u> will travel a greater distance as it is the <u>lighter</u> component
Bromobenzene will travel least as it is the <u>heavier</u> component.
thin layer chromatography (TLC) is a type of chromatographic seperation technique that is based on the molecular size of components. the Rf value is the distance covered by the component relative to that travelled by the solvent which is the mobile phase
