Rescuers are drilling through fallen rock in order to rescue some people trapped in a cave. The drill needs lubricating from time to time. Four statements are made about the materials used for the drill tip and the lubricant to explain the reasons for their use. Diamond is used for the drill tip as it does not conduct electricity. Diamond is used for the drill tip as it is very hard. Graphite is used as the lubricant as it conducts electricity. Graphite is used as the lubricant as it is soft and slippery. Which statements are correct?

A colourless mixture is separated by paper chromatography. The steps below describe the method. These steps are not in the correct order. Remove the chromatography paper from the solvent when the solvent front is near the top of the paper. Place the chromatography paper in the solvent. Spray the chromatography paper with a locating agent. Place a spot of the mixture on the pencil line. Draw a pencil line at the bottom of the chromatography paper. Draw a pencil line to mark the position of the solvent front. What is the correct order for these steps?
