3a. 3b ### Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) Plate Analysis**Problem Statement:**Consider the following TLC plate depictions below. In each depiction, 2 unknown samples are spotted side by side. For each depiction, (a) determine the error, if any, and (b) propose a modification.### Plate Depictions:There are three TLC plates labeled Plate I, Plate II, and Plate III, each showcasing errors in technique or procedure and improvements needed.#### **Plate I:**- **Error:** The spots are too large and not well-defined- **Modification:** Apply smaller, more concentrated spots of the unknown samples to ensure clearer separation of components.#### **Plate II:**- **Error:** The spots are overlapping and conflated, causing unclear results.- **Modification:** Spot the samples with greater care and allow sufficient space between them. It also may help to apply the samples lightly in multiple small taps rather than a single large application.#### **Plate III:**- **Observation:** - Sample A shows two distinct spots indicating the presence of 2 compounds: Compound 1 and Compound 2. - Sample B shows one spot corresponding to Compound 2.- **Conclusion:** As there are no notable errors, this plate correctly identifies and separates the compounds.**Error Analysis:**For Plates I and II, the incorrect technique of sample application results in poor separation and uninformative spots. Correct spot size, concentration, and careful application technique significantly improve the results.**Diagram Explanation:**- In each TLC plate image, the baseline (where samples are initially spotted) is denoted by a dashed horizontal line at the bottom.- The solvent front (the furthest point reached by the solvent) is indicated by a dashed horizontal line near the top of each plate.- Compounds are seen as spots that travel up the plate based on their affinity to the solvent and stationary phase.### Educational Takeaway:Proper technique in spotting samples on a TLC plate is crucial for effective separation and accurate identification of compounds. Ensuring appropriate spot size, careful application, and adequate spacing between the samples will yield better chromatographic results.### References:For more details on Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) and best practices for sample application, refer to [recommended resources or textbooks].

The great French chemist Antoine Lavoisier discovered the Law of Conservation of Mass in part by doing a famous experiment in 1775. In this experiment Lavoisier found that mercury(11) oxide, when heated, decomposed into liquid mercury and an invisible and previously unknown substance: oxygen gas. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of solid mercury(11) oxide (HgO) into liquid mercury and gaseous dioxygen. 2. Suppose 39.0 mL of dioxygen gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of 50.0 °C and pressure of exactly 1 atm, Calculate the mass of mercury(11) oxide that must have reacted.

A commercial 737 jet transporting 143 passengers and 5 crew members from Kansas city (MCI) to Baltimore (BWI) burned 11800 lb. of Jet A fuel. Jet A fuel is kerosene based, consisting primarily of CnH2n+2 hydrocarbons, with n = 6 to 16, so the Carbon:Hydrogen ratio is close to 1:2. During this flight , how much CO2 (in kg) was released into the atmosphere? (assume the combustion of fuel was complete, so all fuel was converted into H2O and CO2).
