2) Rf value = distance travelled by spot/distance travelled by solvent
= 0.017/8 = 0.002125
3)a) Sublimation is the process of conversion of solid into gas.
b) % of recovery
= mass of naphthalene recovered×100/impure mass
= 4.7×100/6.9
= 68.12
2. Calculate the Rr value if the distance traveled by spot is given as 0.017em and...
(b) The sublimation of naphthalene was performed in a purification experiment. At the beginning of the technique, 6.9g of impure naphthalene was obtained. After the purification technique was complete, 4.7g of naphthalene was recovered. Calculate the percent of naphthalene that was recovered. (5pts.)
