Thin layer chromatography(TLC) works with the principle of separation through adsorption.

It is used in the isolation and extraction of lipids through the following steps:

apply the lipid samples spots in the bottom of the plate.
also apply sample solution to the marked spot
pour the mobile phase into the TLC chamber and use a moist filter paper to cover it. this is done to maintain equal humidity.
then place the plate in the TLC chamber and close it with a lid.
the plate is immersed into the solvent (mobile phase) for its development. this is done, keeping in mind that the sample spot should be above the solvent.
once the sample spots are developed, they are removed and dried.
this is later viewed using the UV light chamber to see the isolation of the lipid sample.

If a Cod Fish Parent has 82 Chromosomes in its Body Cells, how many

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

41 chromosomes each

Explanation:

Meiosis is the means by which sexually-reproducing organisms produce gametes /sex cells used during reproduction. Meiosis is a kind of cell division that results in daughter cells (gametes) with a reduced number of chromosomes (by half). This means that meiosis reduces the chromosomal number of parents cell in the gametes.

Based on this, if a cod fish that possesses 82 chromosomes in Its somatic or body cells undergo meiotic division in order to produce gametes. The chromosome number of the sex cells will be reduced by half i.e. from 82 chromosomes (diploid, 2n) to 41 chromosomes (haploid, n)

An electrochemical cell at 25°C is composed of pure copper and pure lead solutions immersed in their respective ionis. For a 0.6

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer :

(a) The concentration of $Pb^{2+}$ is, 0.0337 M

(b) The concentration of $Pb^{2+}$ is, $6.093\times 10^{32}M$

Solution :

<u>(a) As per question, lead is oxidized and copper is reduced.</u>

The oxidation-reduction half cell reaction will be,

Oxidation half reaction: $Pb\rightarrow Pb^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $Cu^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Cu$

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$Pb(s)+Cu^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Pb^{2+}(aq)+Cu(s)$

Here lead (Pb) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Copper (Cu) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

$E^o_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}=-0.13V$

$E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=+0.34V$

$E^o=E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}-E^o_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}$

$E^o=0.34V-(-0.13V)=0.47V$

Now we have to calculate the concentration of $Pb^{2+}$ .

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Pb^{2+}]}{[Cu^{2+}]}$

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

$E_{cell}$ = 0.507 V

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$0.507=0.47-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{[Pb^{2+}]}{(0.6)}$

$[Pb^{2+}]=0.0337M$

Therefore, the concentration of $Pb^{2+}$ is, 0.0337 M

<u>(b) As per question, lead is reduced and copper is oxidized.</u>

The oxidation-reduction half cell reaction will be,

Oxidation half reaction: $Cu\rightarrow Cu^{2+}+2e^-$

Reduction half reaction: $Pb^{2+}+2e^-\rightarrow Pb$

The balanced cell reaction will be,

$Cu(s)+Pb^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow Cu^{2+}(aq)+Pb(s)$

Here Copper (Cu) undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. Lead (Pb) undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

First we have to calculate the standard electrode potential of the cell.

$E^o_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}=-0.13V$

$E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}=+0.34V$

$E^o=E^o_{[Pb^{2+}/Pb]}-E^o_{[Cu^{2+}/Cu]}$

$E^o=-0.13V-(0.34V)=-0.47V$

Now we have to calculate the concentration of $Pb^{2+}$ .

Using Nernest equation :

$E_{cell}=E^o_{cell}-\frac{0.0592}{n}\log \frac{[Cu^{2+}]}{[Pb^{2+}]}$

where,

n = number of electrons in oxidation-reduction reaction = 2

$E_{cell}$ = 0.507 V

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

$0.507=-0.47-\frac{0.0592}{2}\log \frac{(0.6)}{[Pb^{2+}]}$

$[Pb^{2+}]=6.093\times 10^{32}M$

Therefore, the concentration of $Pb^{2+}$ is, $6.093\times 10^{32}M$
