What is the structure of m-aminophenol-4-methoxyaniline?

The structure of m-aminophenol -4-methoxyaniline is the compound that contains an internal hydrogen bond that is between the neighboring amine and hydroxyl groups that partly co-ordinates with the same groups. It is also stated that it has a very high melting point compared to other molecules with a similar molecular mass.


What is considered a high molecular weight is 84.02 high low or somewhere in between?

The absolute value of molecular weight (molar mass) is somewhat arbitrary. It's like asking if 100 is a large number, small number or somewhere in between. There are molecular weights as low as, say 2 g/mole for H2 gas, and as high as several thousand for a protein or other polymer. So, a molecular weight of 84 is high compared to a MW of 2, but is low compared to a MW of 100,000.


How does evolutionary biology unite ecoloy systematics ethology molecular biology population genetics and palentology?

The bottom line of all life is the DNA... Previously, we compared fossils and created evolutionary trees on the basis of structure and similarity. However, this can just be a co-incidence. Now we can compare molecular data, DNA and protein sequences and obtain the similarity and thereby predict, why our brothers in the evolutionary tree are different than us.


How thin is the atmosphere?

It thickness or thinness is measured by the molecular weight and the surface pressure. The average molecular weight is about 28 and the pressure is 15 lb/sq.in. That can be compared with atmospheres on other planets e.g. Venus, Mars and all the outer planets.

What is the relationship between homologous structure and analogous structure?

Homologous structures refer to structures on different species that are similar in function and their evolutionary origin. Analogous structures are similar in function but do not share a similarity in evolutionary origin.

What is the retardation factor?

In chemical chromatography, it is a measure of the relative mobility of components of a mixture through a stationary phase while experiencing the forces of a mobile eluent phase, based on relative intermolecular attractive forces and molecular size. In thin layer chromatography, is it the ratio of distance travelled by a component compared to the distance travelled by the eluent front from the point of contact with the mixture. In column chromatography, it is the fraction of the component in the mobile phase at equilibrium. By comparison, in gas chromatography, relative retention times on the stationary phase are measured and compared for the mixture components.
