Yes. Percent yield shows how efficient one's method is. If his isolated caffeine proved to be at only 1.5%, compared to least 50% as in many of the previous experiments, the student should be very concerned as it shows that something caused the yield to sharply drop.

A plant extract can be obtained with organic solvents such as acetone or ethyl alcohol, and is composed of plant pigments such a
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Here's what I get  

Explanation:

A plant extract is a mixture because it contains different substances: acetone or ethanol, chlorophylls A and B, carotene and xanthophylls.

It is homogeneous because it is a solution. There is only one phase: the liquid phase. You cannot see the pigments as separate phases.

You can separate the pigments by paper, thin layer, or column chromatography.

Many schools use paper chromatography, because paper is cheap.

As the mixture of pigments follows the solvent up the paper, they separate into different coloured bands according to their attractive forces to the cellulose in the paper.

The chlorophylls are strongly attracted to the paper, so they don't travel very far.

The nonpolar carotene molecules have little attraction to the polar cellulose, so they are carried along by the solvent front.

When is a covalent bond described as polar? Choose one: when electrons are transferred from one atom to another if covalently bo
melomori [17]

Answer:

if electrons are shared unequally between bonded atoms

Explanation:

A polar covalent bond is a bond that is formed due to the unequal distribution of electrons between two partially charged atoms. This is observed when the difference in electronegativity between the bond atoms is between 0.5 and 1.7.

A polar bond is a covalent bond between two atoms where the electrons that form the bond are unevenly distributed. This causes the molecule to have a slight electric dipole moment where one end is slightly positive and the other is slightly negative.

The charge of the electric dipoles is less than a full unit charge, so they are considered partial charges and are called delta plus (δ +) and delta minus (δ-).

Because positive and negative charges are separated at the bond, molecules with polar covalent bonds interact with the dipoles of other molecules. This produces intermolecular dipole-dipole forces between the molecules.

In your second paragraph, describe properties of sound waves. Then make a claim about how loud an explosion in space should be.
morpeh [17]

Answer:

Here are five important characteristics: wavelength, amplitude, frequency, time period, and velocity. The wavelength of a sound wave can tell the distance that wave travels before it repeats itself. The wavelength itself is a longitudinal wave that show compression and rarefactions of sound waves.
