Answer:
Hexane should be used first.
Explanation:
Chromatography is a method of separating the constituents of a mixture by taking advantage of their different rates of movement in a solvent over an adsorbent medium. Chromatography is a means of separation and analysis that utilises fractional separation. It is based on the principle that if a fluid containing a number of substances is allowed to pass though an adsorbent medium, the different substances in the fluid may travel at different rates and be separated.
The rate of movement depends on the relative affinities of the constituents for the solvent and adsorbent medium. i.e solutes which are weakly adsorbed by the adsorbent medium are easily redissolved by the ascending solvent and quickly travel up the adsorbent medium. In addition to that , solutes which are very soluble in the solvent move up at a faster rate than those which are not soluble.
In column Chromatography;
A non-polar solvent should be initiated and applied first. This is because , in a column chromatography, a non-polar compound will be removed at first then later polar compound.
Assuming a polar compound is used first, the polar compounds will be removed alongside with all the non-polar compounds.
From the two Compounds given;
We know that :
Hexane is a non-polar compound and Methylene chloride is a polar compound. As such, Hexane should be used first.
Answer:
Explanation:
The definition of acids and bases by Arrhenius Theory was modified and extended by Bronsted-Lowry.
Bronsted-Lowry defined acid as a molecule or ion which donates a proton while a base is a molecule or ions that accepts the proton. This definition can be extended to include acid -base titrations in non-aqueous solutions.
In this theory, the reaction of an acid with a base constitutes a transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.
From the given information:
From above:
We will see that HCN releases an H⁺ ion, thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry acid
accepts the H⁺ ion ,thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry base.
The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton donor is <u>HCN</u>
The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton acceptor is <u>H2O</u>
