Which forces of attraction will carry a substance a greater distance in the time?
Stronger forces of attraction between itself and mobile phase than itself and stationary phase
Test for Hydrogen?
React zinc and dilute acid = zinc sulphate & HYDROGEN
collect hydrogen in a test tube
Positive test for Hydrogen?
Lit splint at end of test tube = ‘pops’
Test for Oxygen?
