You are given a sample of several compounds to separate by paper chromatography. You draw a pencil line exactly 1.0 cm from the bottom of the paper, and place a spot of sample on it. You dry the sample, then develop it in a solvent. When the chromatogram is taken out of the solvent, the paper is wet up to 8.8 cm from the bottom of the sheet. The compound you are interested in shows up as a spot 7.5 cm from the bottom of the paper. Calculate the following: How far did the compound move?

Acommon technique in analysis of scientific data is normalization. the purpose of normalizing data is to eliminate irrelevant constants that can obscure the salient features of the data. the goal of this experiment is to test the hypothesis that the flux of light decreases as the square of the distance from the source. in this case, the absolute value of the voltage measured by the photometer is irrelevant; only the relative value conveys useful information. suppose that in part 2.2.2 of the experiment, students obtain a signal value of 162 mv at a distance of 4 cm and a value of 86 mv at a distance of 5.7 cm. normalize the students' data to the value obtained at 4 cm. (divide the signal value by 162.) then calculate the theoretically expected (normalized) value at 5.7 cm.
