6) Which of the following would travel the farthest in column chromatography?

1 answer:

8 0

The answer would be C8H18, or octane. Column chromatography is a separation technique that works off of polarity. The stationary phase, in column chromatography, are non-modified silica gels. Silica gels are normally polar. This means the solvent that will elute first are non-polar molecules...then polar molecules. The polar silica gels have a stronger interaction with polar molecules like CH3OH, and therefore will lag the solvent. Additionally, as you decrease the carbons, in hydrocarbons, the molecule becomes more polar. This is not C6H6 isn't the answer and octane is.

The gravitational force between which two objects would be the most difficult to notice? A. The moon and the earth b. The moon a

Ghella [55]

Answer:

d. A water particle and an air particle

Explanation:

The force of gravity (F) between two objects of masses m1 and m2 and separated by a distance r is given as:

$F = G\frac{m1*m2}{r^{2} }$

where G is the gravitational constant

This force is therefore, directly proportional to the masses and inversely related to the distance between them.

Based on the given options, since the masses of the water and air particles are very small (masses of earth, moon and sun is relatively huge), the gravitational force between them would be negligible and difficult to measure.
