A student developed a chromatogram and found that the eluent from travelled 94 mm and the Zn^2+ cation travelled 24 mm. In the development of a chromatogram of a mixture of cations, the eluent front travelled 87 mm. if Zn^2+ is a cation of the unknown mixture, where will its band appear in the chromatogram?

Question

A student developed a chromatogram and found that the eluent from travelled 94 mm and the Zn^2+ cation travelled 24 mm. In the development of a chromatogram of a mixture of cations, the eluent front travelled 87 mm. if Zn^2+ is a cation of the unknown mixture, where will its band appear in the chromatogram? 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

Distance/Length that eluent travelled =94 mm

Distance/Length that Zn2+ travelled =24 mm

In a mixture of cations, eleuent travelled = 87 mm

To determine: The Distance/Length Zn2+ cation in the unknown mixture travelled.
