Explain probability distribution?

The probability distribution of an experiment is a function that maps the probability of each possible outcome of the experiment to that outcome.


Why is acetone a good solvent for extracting chlorophyll-a?

I exactly dont know as why acetone is a good solvent but I know that oen of our labs had ethanol for chlorophyll extraction from the leaf experiment. It does take out most of the chlorophyll present in th leaf and it is commonly used in labs and either acetone or ethanol is used as a solvent choice.


How do you separate the green chlorophyll out of grass?

Paper Chromatography is the key separating technique to get the green chlorophyll out of grass. In order to extract the chlorophyll you will need to soak the grass in acetone or concentrated alcohol for awhile. Then paint the grass mixture with the grass onto paper chromatography paper. Do the steps of the paper chromatography procedure and the mixture will separate in layers. these layers will be. Carotene on the top, then Xanthophyll and Two different layers of Chlorophyll on the bottom.


What is descending paper chromatography?

ascending chromatography is a type of chromatography in which chromatic substance is in mobile phase and moving from bottom to top. similarly in descending chromatography mobile phase moving from top to bottom.


Function of acetone in gram staining?

Acetone is used for decolouring method, washing away the iodine-crystal violet complex formed in gram negative bacteria. so that the gram negative bacteria can be then stained with safranin or fuchsin.

What happens if the eluent is above the 1.5cm line in a chromatography experiment?

If the eluent is above the 1.5cm line in a chromatography experiment there will not be a proper distribution in a test tube to discover the sources of ink on a paper. A chromatography experiment tests for the sources of ink whether it be chemical or plant based.

An experiment was performed in lab that was supposed to produce aspirin. How could chromatography be used to tell if aspirin was actually the product of the reaction?

i would recommend using high performance liquid chromatography or the common thin layer chromatography using a spot of the sample and a spot of dissolved aspirin to compare the Rf-value or relative retention times of the 2 spots to determine if you have aspirin


What would be the result if the spots were made to large in a thin layer chromatography experiment?

it would be difficult to read as they would merge


What must be used to make paint split up into various pigments in Chromatography?

If it's an oil paint then you use oil. Paint that thinner or other petroleum-based solvent. If it's a water-based paint, use water. If it's an acetone-based paint, use acetone.


What is the process of color separation called?

Chromatography. Take a piece of blotting paper, put a tiny drop of dye in the middle and then drip solvent (e.g. water, acetone, ethanol etc) onto the dye blot. The dye will spread out into separate coloured rings.


What simple experiment can be used to determine if a liquid compound contains polar molecules?

Does acetone function as a catalyst?

As most catalysts are quite specific in the (or at least the type of) reaction, in others not working at all, I can't give an answer for 'your acetone-reaction'. But to my best knowledge there are very few reactions I can think of being catalysed by acetone; never heard of, you know.
