The activities of chromatography adsorbents (stationary phases) such as silica and alumina are greatly affected by their water content. the most active adsorbents are those that contain the least amount of moisture. why is this the case?

Butadiene undergoes a reaction at a certain temperature in the gas phase as follows: 2c4h6(g) --> c8h12(g) the following data were collected for this reaction: time (min) [c4h6] (m) 0 0.36 15 0.30 30 0.25 48 0.19 75 0. determine the order of the reaction and the rate constant. 1st order and k = 4.3x10 -4 s-1 1st order and k = 2.3x10-4 s-1 2nd order and k = 4.3x10-4 s-1 2nd order and k = 2.3x10-4 s-1 zero and k = 4.3x10-4 s-1

Predict the products of the following acid-base reactions, and predict whether the equilibrium lies to the left or to the right of the reaction arrow. part ao2-(aq)+h2o(l)< => express your answer as part of a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer. o2-(aq)+h2o(l) < => oh-(aq)+oh-(aq)part bpredict whether the equilibrium lies to the left or to the right of the equation in previous part. h2o is a stronger acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the right. h2o is a weaker acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the left. h2o is a stronger acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the left. h2o is a weaker acid than oh–, so the equilibrium lies to the right. part cch3cooh(aq)+hs? (aq) < => express your answer as part of a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer. ch3cooh(aq)+hs-(aq) < => h2s(aq)+c2h3o2-(aq)h2s(aq)+c2h3o2-( aq)part dpredict whether the equilibrium lies to the left or to the right of the equation in previous part. ch3cooh is a weaker acid than h2s, so the equilibrium lies to the right. ch3cooh is a weaker acid than h2s, so the equilibrium lies to the left. ch3cooh is a stronger acid than h2s, so the equilibrium lies to the right. ch3cooh is a stronger acid than h2s, so the equilibrium lies to the left. part eno2-(aq)+h2o(l) < => express your answer as part of a chemical equation. identify all of the phases in your answer. no2-(aq)+h2o(l) < => part fpredict whether the equilibrium lies to the left or to the right of the equation in previous part. hno2 is a stronger acid than h2o, so the equilibrium lies to the right. hno2 is a weaker acid than h2o, so the equilibrium lies to the left. hno2 is a stronger acid than h2o, so the equilibrium lies to the left. hno2 is a weaker acid than h2o, so the equilibrium lies to the right.
