the solution freezing point is lower than it should be
Because the three possible unknowns (cinnamic acid, vanillin and 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) have either carboxylic acid or phenol functional groups, they are all weak acids.
What is the source of this effect?
more particles are in solution because of dissociation

Which of the following statements are true about flammability?
Inflammable is another word for flammable
A fire cannot start above or below a vapor’s flammability limits
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) diamond has a [A] section for flammability. If the number [B] appears in this section, the chemical is extremely flammable. If the number [C] appears in this section, the chemical is a combustible, it will catch fire when heated. The Global Harmonized System (GHS) symbol is a picture of a [D]. If the hazard category is [E], the chemical is extremely flammable. If the hazard category is [F], the chemical is combustible.
red, 4, 2, fire, HC1,HC4
A mixture of acetone and heptane is used in this project to create the TLC eluent. Only a small amount of liquid
(2−3mL)is needed for the development chamber, so the volume to volume ratios of heptane to acetone must be converted to reasonable quantities so that excess waste is not created. If the total volume is 2−3mL fill in the table to show how much of each chemical is needed to make the ratio.
Heptane : Acetone Ratio of 1:1
Heptane : Acetone Ratio of 1:2
Heptane : Acetone Ratio of 2:1
Heptane : Acetone Ratio of 3:2
1 mL Heptane : 1mL Acetone
1 mL Heptane : 2mL Acetone
2 mL Heptane : 1mL Acetone
1.5 mL Heptane : 1mL Acetone

The ratio between the solvents should be reasonably precise, but not as precise as when making standard solutions for a Beer’s Law plot. What is the best piece of glassware to measure out the above volumes?
graduated cylinder
Order the steps for preparing and developing a TLC plate.
- With a pencil, draw a baseline
- Use a capillary to deliver 1-2 drops of concentrated analyte solution
- Allow the analyte spots to dry
- Place plate in TLC chamber so that it doesnt touch the filter paper
- Cap TLC chamber
- Remove plate before solvent front reaches the top of the plate
- Mark the solvent front
- Measure distances to calculate Rf values
when looking at a TLC which compound is more polar?
the compound that moves the least
which compound is most attracted to the eluent
the compound that moves the most/ is closest to the solvent front
Match the TLC issue with the cause.
All the analyte spots are in the upper region of the TLC plate & close together
the eluent was too polar
Match the TLC issue with the cause.
Analyte spots moved up the plate diagonally instead of vertically
The TLC plate was touching the filter paper wick
Match the TLC issue with the cause.
While spotting the analyte spot became too large
The TLC plate was not allowed to dry between drops
Match the TLC issue with the cause.
Rf values differ for 2 identically spotted plates from the same developing chamber containing 2:1 acetone:heptane eluent
The developing chamber is not capped resulting in evaporation
