Answer to Problem 8E
Atomic number = 50
Explanation of Solution
According to long form of the periodic table, the element with atomic number 50 is tin. The atomic symbol of tin is Sn as the Latin name of tin is stannum. It is placed in group-14 and period-5 in the periodic table.
The atomic number of an element can be defined as the number of protons in it. Since the atomic number of Sn is 50 thus the number of protons must be 50.

Answer to Problem 8E
Number of neutron = 69
Explanation of Solution
According to long form of the periodic table, the element with atomic number 50 is tin. The atomic symbol of tin is Sn as the Latin name of tin is stannum. It is placed in group-14 and period-5 in the periodic table.
The atomic number of an element can be defined as the number of protons in it. The number of neutrons can be calculated with the help of mass number and atomic number. The mass number of tin is 119. Thus, the number of neutrons must be:
Number of neutrons = Mass number − atomic number
Number of neutrons = 119 − 50 = 69

The atomic number of an element can be defined as the number of protons in it. In a neutral atom, the number of protons is always equal to the number of electrons. This is because, protons are positively charge particles and electrons are negatively charged particles. Same number of both sub-atomic particles makes the atom neutral.
Number of protons in tin = number of electrons = 50

- Recent advancements in liquid chromatography include the development of ultrahigh pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) and an increased use of capillary columns that had previously only been used with gas chromatography. Both of these advances have made the development of portable LC systems possible. For example, Axcend Corp. makes a portable system that uses a capillary column with an internal diameter of 150-μm-that is packed with 1.7-um stationary phase particles. In contrast, a traditional LC column has a 4.6 mm internal diameter and utilizes 5-um stationary phase particles. a) Explain one advantage that is afforded by the use of a capillary column in liquid chromatographic separation. Explain one disadvantage of capillary columns. b) Explain how the use of smaller stationary phase particles can improve the resolution of a separation.

Brarrow_forwardPlease help me with #2b & #3 using the data.arrow_forwardHeparin is used as an anti-coagulant. A risk of heparin use is thrombocytopenia, or low platelet count. This risk is minimized with the use of low molecular weight heparins (LMWH), therefore it is desirable to separate LMWH from higher molecular weight heparins. The method of choice to do this is molecular exclusion chromatography. Below is a chromatogram from a molecular exclusion chromatographic run. Peaks ranging from A to J are clearly distinguishable. The heparin mixture that was analyzed had anywhere from 6 to 30 repeat units of monomer (where the heparin with 30 repeat units would be roughly five times the size of the heparin with six repeat units). a.
