Analysis Flashcards
Mobile phase
The phase that moves in chromotography
Stationary phase
The phase that does not move in chromatography
Adsorption
The process by which a solid holds molecules of a gas or liquid or solute as a thin film on the surface of a solid or more rarely a liquid
Chromatogram
A visible record showing the result of separation of the components of a mixture by chromatography
Retention time
Time in gas chromatography is the time for a component to pass from the column inlet to the detector
Chemical shift
A scale that compares the frequency of an NMR absorption with the frequency of the reference peak of TMS at chemical shift=0 ppm
Phase
A physically distinctive form of a substance, such as the solid, liquid and gaseous states of ordinary matter
