Answer:

B. n-octyl alcohol and 1-octene

Explanation:

Thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is a chromatography technique used to separate non-volatile mixtures. The principle is that different compounds in the sample mixture travel at different rates due to the differences in interactions with stationary phase and due to the differences in solubility in the solvent. The principal chemical property for separation using this technique is molecular polarity

You can intuit than hexadecane and octadecane don't have big polarity differences, also chlorobenzene and bromobenzene haven't.

An alcohol as n-octyl alcohol has different polarity than an alkene as 1-octene.

Thus, using  thin layer chromatography is most easy to separate:

<em>B. n-octyl alcohol and 1-octene </em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

Mgcl2 has a concentration of 0.054 M in the ocean. How many grams are present in 25ml of sea water ​
d1i1m1o1n [39]

Answer:

0.129g MgCl2

Explanation:

For this we need to understand the concept of molarity.

Molarity is number of moles of solute/litres of solution

M=n/L

Here we are given molarity of 0.054M and volume of 25ml. we just plug this in formula to find moles of MgCl2

0.054=x/(25/1000) (we divided 25 by 1000 to convert it to litres of solution)

x=0.00135 moles of MgCl2 (we are not done yet the question asks for grams so to convert to grams we multiply by molar mass of MgCl2.)

0.00135molesMgCl2 x 95.211g MgCl2/1molMgCl2

= 0.129g MgCl2

A 0.200 M K 2SO 4 solution is produced by ________. dilution of 250.0 mL of 1.00 M K2SO4 to 1.00 L dissolving 43.6 g of K2SO4 in
Artist 52 [7]

A 0.200 M of K2SO4 solution is produced by diluting 20.0 mL of 5.00 M K2SO4 solution to 500.0 mL.  

<u>Explanation</u>:

  •  When dealing with dilution we will use the following equation:

                              M1 V1 = M2 V2

where,

                      M1 = initial concentration

                      V1 = initial volume

                      M2 = final concentration

                      V2 = final volume

  • By diluting 20.0 mL of 5.00 M K2SO4 solution to 500.0 mL, we get

                            M1 V1 = M2 V2

     20.0 mL \times    5.00 M = M2 \times 500.0 mL

                               M2 = (20.0 mL \times    5.00 M) / 500.0 mL

                              M2 =  0.200 M.

Hence A 0.200 M of K2SO4 solution is produced by diluting 20.0 mL of 5.00 M K2SO4 solution to 500.0 mL.

Synthesize Information In a multistep process, cells can combine the reactants glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) to form the pro
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In one of the process, energy is built up from scratch, in the other one, energy is liberated for use by an organism or body.

The first process deals with a metabolic reaction in which energy is liberated:

         C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂  → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy

In the above process, energy is liberated when glucose combines with oxygen. The waste products are carbon dioxide and water. This process liberates heat energy which can be used to do work.

   In the reverse process:

             6CO₂ + 6H₂O   →  C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

    This process stores energy in carbon chains as chemical energy. It is this energy that is released in the first process.

Therefore, we can see that the first process liberates energy and the reverse process stores energy.

Describe how transpiration and respiration show interactions among Earth's system
stepladder [879]

Earth has 4 systems/ spheres which are known as Lithosphere(land), Biosphere(living things), Hydrosphere(water) and Atmosphere(air).

Transpiration is the process that interact with the Hydrosphere and Respiration is the process that interacts with the Atmosphere.

Transpiration is the process happening in plants which absorb and distribute water through their roots and release water in the form of vapors through their leaves. As this process involves Water, therefore this process interacts with the Hydrosphere.  

Respiration is the process in which plants convert carbon dioxide to oxygen as a part of photosynthesis which was then inhaled by the animals. As this process involves Air, therefore this process interacts with the Atmosphere.
