New research shows that a red food colouring with an R value of 0.62 (when a particular solvent and temperature are used) could

be dangerous to certain people. Samples of food colouring from two different red sweets were collected and the chromatogram bolow was produced. For each of the sweets, state and explain whether or not you would recommend that the sweets are taken off the market based on this research, ​

It is recommended only for the second type of candy to be taken off the market.

Based on the background information, if a candy shows a 0,62 Rf value in the chromatography it is considered potentially dangerous, and therefore it should be taken off the market.

The Rf value is calculated using the following formula:

  • Rf =  Total distance traveled by a component/ Total distance from the pencil line to the solvent front

Now, let's find out if any of the components has an Rf equal to 0,62.

Note: To determine the distances I measured the image using a ruler and you can do the same, this will not alter the results.

  1. Sample 1
  • Total distance traveled by the component: 6cm
  • Total distance: 7 cm
  • Rf : 6 cm/ 7 cm = 0.85

     2. Sample 2

  • Total distance traveled by the component: 4.34cm
  • Total distance: 7 cm
  • Rf : 4.34 cm/ 7 cm = 0.62

This means sample 2 has the 0.62 Rf value and therefore it needs to be taken off the market.

Discuss how the following factors determine the rate of electron transfer in biological systems:
Cloud [144]

Answer:check explanation

Explanation:

(a). HOW THE DISTANCE BETWEEN ELECTRON DONOR AND ACCEPTOR AFFECTS THE RATE OF ELECTRON TRANSFER IN BIOLOGICAL SYSTEM:

Distance between the acceptor and the donor can affect in two ways; short distance and long distance effect.

Short distance causes

electronic orbitals of donor and acceptor directly overlap whereas in LONG DISTANCE reactions this coupling is indirect because of

sequential overlaps of atomic orbitals of the donor, the intervening medium, and the orbitals of the acceptor.

(b). HOW REORGANIZATION ENERGY OF REDOX ACTIVE SPECIE SURROUNDING MEDIUM AFFECTS:

the reorganized energy does not depend on the pre-existing intra molecule electric field. The charge transferred inside the molecule interacts with its aqueous surroundings.

Reorganized energy can be calculated using Poisson-Boltzmann equation.

What is the energy of the photons of a laser with a frequency of 5.75 x 10^12 Hz? (Hint: Remember to round your answer to the lo
Simora [160]

Answer:

E = 3.81×10 ⁻²¹ J

Explanation:

Given data:

Frequency of photon = 5.75 ×10¹² Hz

Plancks constant = 6.626 ×10⁻³⁴ Js

Energy of photon = ?

Solution:

E = h×f

E = 6.626 ×10⁻³⁴ Js ×  5.75 ×10¹² s⁻¹

E = 38.1×10 ⁻²² J

E = 3.81×10 ⁻²¹ J
