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.
If it is just ratio you must just put the mass number on the either side of the symbol ‘:’ and cancel but the same process is not used to find simplest ratio
The answer is C. Because you need the sun to start your cycle which starts with water evaporation
Answer:
540.54 mmHg
Explanation:
We know that the partial pressure of a substance is defined as; Mole fraction * total pressure.
If the total amount of gases in the atmosphere is 100%, the mole fraction of nitrogen gas is now
78/100 = 0.78
Thus, partial pressure of nitrogen gas = 0.78 * 693 = 540.54 mmHg
