No. The molecules MAY (and probably are if you are presented with this situation in school/college lab courses) be identical but just the Rf values is not enough information to determine, you must conduct additional tests. Two different molecules can have the same Rf value.

Compound A will always have an Rf of X in solvent M. Compound B will always have and Rf of Y in solvent M. But, Rf X can be equivalent to Rf Y without compounds A and B being identical.

Is The density of a substance is the same for all samples of the substance?

Not necessarily. The temperature of the samples would have to be the same. It can also vary with how pure the substance is.


What are the characteristics of heterogeneous mixtures?

A heterogeneous mixture has two or more distinct phases with different characteristics. Because of this, two random samples of a heterogeneous mixture may have different compositions. For example, the phases in mud are the water and soil particles, which remain distinct from one another. These phases are not necessarily visible, but may exist as microscopic clusters or particles. By contrast in a homogeneous mixture any two random samples will be identical.

How can you use Dalton's atomic theory to explain why every sample of pure substance has the same properties?

Dalton's atomic theory states that a pure substance is made up of tiny particles called 'atoms', and that each atom of a substance will be identical in shape, size and behavior to any other atom of that substance, regardless of source or location. Any two samples of a pure substance will demonstrate the same properties because all of these samples are comprised of identical atoms which behave identically.


What is a mixture in which samples are not necessarily made up of exactly the same proportions of matter?

When one dna molecule replicated the result is two dna molecules what is true of the second dna molecule?

DNA actually has 3 forms. A-DNA, B-DNA, and Z-DNA. B-DNA is the kind you are most familiar with and present in most organisms. A-DNA can be found in dehydrated samples while Z-DNA is rare and mostly synthesized in the lab.
