Answer:
Because the kind of compounfds that you try to determine using paper chromatography (organic compounds) are usually not soluble in water. Furthermore, water could react chemically with some of this compounds, because it's a very reactive molecule. You need organic solvents that are mostly inert.
Answer: a is equal to b
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract the difference:
14,649 - 2389 = 12,260
Divide that by 2
12,260 / 2 = 6,130
That is the number of shows for B.
For A add the 2,389 to the number of shows for B
2389 + 6130 = 8,519
Show A = 8,519
Show B = 6,130
