A student accidentally reversed the order of solvents A, B, and C in the column chromatography and used the acetone FIRST and then the remaining solvents. Predict what will happen to the student’s ability to separate compounds. Explain your reasoning

It will be difficult

Explanation:

He should have started from a non-polar solvent, which will dissolve the non-polar compound and elute it first before using the polar solvent, acetone can dissolve both polar and non-polar compound, making a hitch in d separation

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
