You collect a sample of hydrogen gas in an inverted buret by displacement of water at 23 degrees C. The buret could not be submerged deep enough in the water level in the water bath. The volume of gas in the buret was determined to be 32.60 mL.
a. If the current atmospheric pressure was 29.45" of Hg, what is the pressure of dry hydrogen in the buret? Show your work.
b. How many moles of hydrogen are in this sample? Show your work.

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 9.1 cm from the bottom of the sheet. The compound you are interested in shows up as a spot 7.1 cm from the bottom of the paper.
Calculate the following:
In the same time, how far did the solvent move?
What is the Rf factor for the compund?
