Explanation:
Chromatography separates components of a mixture based on their different affinities for stationary and mobile phases. Used for dyes, drugs, amino acids.
Explanation:
Cathode (negative electrode): 2H₂O + 2e⁻ → H₂ + 2OH⁻ (or 2H⁺ + 2e⁻ → H₂). Hydrogen gas is collected at the cathode. At the anode, oxygen is produced: 2H₂O → O₂ + 4H⁺ + 4e⁻. The volume of H₂ is double that of O₂.
Explanation:
