Alcohol or acid will travel the furthest up the paper chromatography? pls help thanks and explain

Chemistry

d1i1m1o1n [39]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Yes.

The distance that the molecules move depends on their solubility in the solvent and the size of the molecules. Heavy molecules will travel slower and therefore travel a shorter distance in the time the chromatography is run.

We know from such things as felt tip pens that colourings can be soluble in different solvents. Water soluble felt pens have colours that are - well - water soluble. Permanent felt pens have colours that are insoluble in water but that are soluble in another solvent. This could well be alcohol.

The water soluble colours may also be soluble in alcohol. The solubility in alcohol will be different from the solubility in alcohol, and so the Rf value ( the distance travelled) will also be different.

Because of the complicated shapes of the colours, the colours may not have the same order in the Rf values in the different solvents.

A 2.5 mg sample of magnesium powder is ignited with 2 mg oxygen in a sealed container. All of the magnesium is consumed and 4.15
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Total mass of the reactant = 2+2.5 =4.5 mg

Total mass of product = 4.15 mg

therefore, mass of unreacted oxygen = 4.50-4.15 = 0.35 g

A salt forms in the reaction of barium with chlorine. What is the most likely formula unit of this salt?
Scrat [10]
The answer to this question would be: BaCl 2
Barium is an alkali metal with 56 atomic number. Barium located in the group 2 of the periodic table because it has 2 valence electrons. Chlorine is a nonmetal that has 1 valence electron. When react, it would need 2 chlorine for each barium as the valence electron of barium is twice the chlorine.
