Is a TLC Plate the same as filter paper?

No. A TLC (Thin Liquid Chromatagraphy) plate is made specially. It has different Compounds to it that make it separate from filter paper. See 1st related link below for more info on TLC Plates See 2nd related link for info about filter paper


Why should latex gloves be worn while preparing chromatography plates?

The likelyhoood of tranferring amino acid from you fingers onto the matrix of the plate is very high, and then you might see amino acid spots when you develop and visualize the plate, depending on what you use to visualize your spots.


Which volcanoes are located on hot spots?

Well... Volcano hotspots are mostly on the boarders of tectonic plates. A huge volcano hotspot is the pacific ring of fire.... which is in the pacific ocean where major tectonic plates meet. If you want to see some maps of where the pacific ring of fire is, just go to google images and search for the pacific ring of fire.


Are there plates underwater?

Yes, the entire world is covered in tectonic plates, however, the oceanic plates are much thinner generally than continental plates, and it is for this reason that hot spots (places on the inside of a plate that are weak enough to permit the passage of magma from the mantle, see Hawaii). This can also cause interesting dynamics at plate bounderies, for instance, on the west coast of the United States the pacific plate (oceanic) and the north American plate (continental) are colliding (at an angle). The thinner pacific plate slips under the thicker north American plate leading to mountain formation and volcanic activity.


Why iodine is used in thin layer chromatography?

The staining of a TLC plate with iodine vapor is among the oldest methods for the visualization of organic compounds. It is based upon the observation that iodine has a high affinity for both unsaturated and aromatic compounds. Preparation: A chamber may be assembled as follows: To 100 mL wide mouth jar (with cap) is added a piece of filter paper and few crystals of iodine. Iodine has a high vapor pressure for a solid and the chamber will rapidly become saturated with iodine vapor. Insert your TLC plate and allow it to remain within the chamber until it develops a light brown color over the entire plate. Commonly, if your compound has an affinity for iodine, it will appear as a dark brown spot on a lighter brown background. Carefully remove the TLC plate at this point and gently circle the spots with a dull pencil. The iodine will not remain on the TLC plate for long periods of time so circling these spots is necessary if one wishes to refer to these TLC's at a later date.

Why does white spot get confused with cold water fish in breeding condition?

Male Goldfish develop white spots on their gill plates when they are in breeding condtion. Folks who are inexperienced or unaware of this, see the white spots and jump to the wrong conclusion. White spot (Ich) does not confine itself to the gill plates and can be seen on the fins and the body of fish that are being parasitised.

What are the volcano prone areas of the world?

There are many areas around the world where volcanoes reside. Most volcanoes are near plate boundaries (see "what are tectonic plates?") because this is where lava from the mantle is forced upward, to the surface. Volcanoes formed in the middle of plates are formed from "hot spots", regions where hot rock and magma are forced to the surface from deep in the mantle in tube-like formations. As plates slide across these hot spots, lines of volcanoes are formed.


Why are a black jaguars spots hard to see?

A black Jaguars spots are so hard to see because the spots are also black so they blend into the fur.
