How many 8.5 x 11 sheets of paper does it take to reach the moon?
25 distances
How many sheets of toilet paper are there in a single roll?
Each brand of paper towel has a different amount.
How much does 1 box of 8.5 x 11 paper weigh?
You need more information. You need to know how much paper you are dealing with (a ream, or some other sheet count) and also the specific grade of paper. Reams of different paper can weigh differently.

What are the dimensions of a2 size paper?
Paper comes in a variety of different sizes including 4A0, 2A0, A0 and A1 through A10. The dimensions of A2 paper are 594 by 420 mm or 23.4 by 16.5 inches.
Why different compounds travel different distances on the piece of paper?
i think that it is because some compounds are more dense than others so they don't move that much or that far as others do. Whereas other compounds are "thinner" than some and can move with more ease causing them to travel greater distances. It also has to do with the amount of friction between the paper and the certain compound.
Why do pigments travel different distances up filter paper?
It depend on the density of the pigments.
What do the strips in the paper represent?
The strips in paper chromatography represent the different components of a mixture being separated based on their solubility and affinity for the stationary phase. Each strip shows the individual compounds in the mixture as they travel at different rates through the paper due to their interactions with the mobile phase.
Why do different colors travel at different speeds?
The paper is made of cellulose, a polar substance, and the compounds within the mixture travel farther if they are non-polar. More polar substances bond with the cellulose paper more quickly, and therefore do not travel as far. found on <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromatography>
Why did different dyes travel up the filter paper at different rates in paper chromatography?
different dyes travel with different speed/rates on filter paper in paper chromatography as they have nothing to do with the filter paper as it is the stationary medium while the rates depends upon the interaction between the solute i.e., dyes and the mobile phase i.e., the solvent.
What is paper chromatography used for?
Paper chromatography is a method used for separating out different components of solution. The most common classroom use for it is to visually see the different colored dyes in ink because the different colors will travel different lengths across the paper.
Is there carbon monoxide in a cigarette?
No, there are different organic compounds in tobacco and paper of cigarette which may produce carbon monoxide on burning.
What is function of butanol in paper chromatography?
Butanol is used as a solvent in paper chromatography because it can dissolve a wide range of compounds. It helps to carry the sample and allow it to migrate up the paper. Butanol also helps in separating the components of the sample by interacting differently with different compounds.
Filter paper is a something used to separate colours?
If you mix a dye with a colourless solvent (e.g. alcohol) and place a drip of it in the centre of a round piece of filter paper, the different dyes will "run" at different speeds and for different distances. You will be left with a series of concentric circles which are of different colours.
What type of change is burning of paper?
Burning paper is a chemical change. The paper reacts with Oxygen in the atmosphere to produce Carbon Dioxide, Water and other compounds [exactly which other compounds is dependent upon the composition of the burnt paper]
Are sugar plastics rubber and paper all organic compounds?
Yes, all are organic compounds.
Is paper a polymer or a composite?
No, it is a natural polymer cellulose found in plants, paper is a plants product.
