Compare the TLC Rf values for the components in your spearmint oil sample with the TLC Rf values obtained for the R-(-)-carvone, R-( )-limonene and (1R, 2R, 4R)-dihydrocarveolstandards. List which fractions contained which component (for example, fractions 5-7 contained component X). Was TLC an adequate technique to identify the identity of the components of the spearmint oil in each of your fractions

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
