Rate of distillation is increased when the ability of a substance to become a vapor is increased. Recall that vapor is created when enough heat is applied to the liquid. The temperature at which the liquid becomes vapor is called the boiling point. A liquid turns into a vapor when the vapor pressure (pressure applied by the vapor from the liquid) equals the atmospheric pressure. Decreasing the atmospheric pressure will make it easier for the liquid to turn into a vapor; therefore, this will increase the rate of distillation.

Decreasing the vapor pressure will remove vapor from system. This will make it harder to distill substances. Decreasing temperature will move the system away from the boiling point, thereby decreasing the amount of vapor. Decreasing mole fraction of the substance will decrease the surface area of the substance (at the surface of the solution). Liquid molecules need to be present at the surface to escape the solution and become vapor; therefore, decreasing mole fraction will decrease the amount of vapor.

Gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate molecules based on size or charge. Charged particles can be separated because they migrate towards different ends of the gel.

Negatively charged particles always migrate towards the positive pole whereas positively charged particles always migrate towards the negative pole (opposites attract). In gel electrophoresis, the positive pole is called the anode and the negative pole is called the cathode; therefore, the charged particles will migrate to the respective nodes.

To solve this problem we need to recall the definition of Rf.

The solvent is typically the most mobile substance on a TLC plate; therefore, it travels the farthest distance. This means that Rf is always less than one because the numerator of Rf is always smaller than the denominator. The question states that the Rf value is 2. Since this is greater than 1, the results don’t seem valid. This value indicates that the solute compounds were able to teravel farther on the TLC plate than the solvent (mobile phase).

SDS is a substance added to polyacrylamide gels to separate substances based on size. This method is called SDS-PAGE. SDS binds to the secondary structure of proteins and gives them an overall negative charge; the bigger the substance the bigger the negative charge. The larger mass compensates for the bigger charge; therefore, SDS makes it so that the mass-to-charge ratio of all substances is the same. This standardizes the electric force experienced by each molecule, making size the only driving force for migration through the gel.

There are two types of distillation. Simple distillation is used to separate molecules that have very different boiling points. Fractional distillation is used to separate molecules with small differences in boiling points. Fractional distillation is often used if the difference between boiling points is less than . In simple distillation, the vapor is immediately collected in a condenser. On the other hand, fractional distillation allows vapor to condense and revaporize several times. These repeated cycles allow fractional distillation to purify the vapor better than simple distillation.
