Chem Sep midterm Flashcards
2 MAJOR FORCES OF SEPERATION
Sepeartive and dispersive transport
Essential feature of transport
redistribution of components in space
Rules/limit of seperation
1) No absolute separations
a. Separation limitations and Detection limits
Limits in separation include
a. Physical (eg controlling t or p)
b. Chem limits (equilibrium)
2 major forms of entropy
Mixing and dilution
Seperative transport of a component into different regions
Delta(H) - T Delta(S) - see quiz
What is chemical potential and what does it depend on
Gibbs free energy change upon entering a system - depends on intrinsic affinity to the phase (enthalpy) and solution (diffusion/concentration termenetropy? (RTLn(C))
Stronger affinity menas what for enthalpy
Lower
What are the laws of thermodynamics
0) Heat is transferable - transitive
1) Energy can’t be created or destroyed - just transferred
2nd law : Entropy – total entropy of an isolated sys can never decrease over time – is constant if process is reversible
What is U - to
Q-w (heat transferred in vs work done
standard entropy vs entropy
standard entropy is a trait of the molecule while entropy of a reaction is something we calculate
Equation for change in entropy
Change in Q/T
For LLE -practice solving for Q
Uint vs u ext
mathematically equal (need to become 0) but different in unit abrupt whereas uext continuous
What is the distribution isotherm
Graph of concentration in one solvent vs concentration in another (so slope is K) - at one temperature - shows that for most concentrations - this is a lienar and predictable relationship (except when concentration too high
what is k
moles in stationary/moles in mp
Binomial distribution know it
What does craig appartus tell us about chroamtography
Tells us how it’s distributed - can’t give us shape and position however
Why is the Craig Apparatus and chroamtography able to separate compounds (what equations and relations make this so)
So if we think of our craig apparatus dist as gaussian peak - our mean is RP, and our stdev is ROOT(rpq) so we see our mean increases proportionally with R while our spread increases only with root R so our distance is increasing faster than the spread of our peaks
What are p and q in terms of k
p is k’/(1+k’) and q is 1/(1+k’) and k is just q/p
What is dead time a function of
column dimensions and mobile phase velocity
What is Rt based off of
column, mobile phase type and velocity, temperature and characteristic of the analyte
Dilution equation?
Delta(S) = nRln((Vfinal)/(Vinitial))
How do you get Vm and Vr in basic chromatography
= Ft so Ftm gets Vm, F*Tr gets Vr and can get adjusted retention volume as Vr - Vm
k = (in terms of RT)
adjusted RT/ TM
All the things k =’s
q/p, tr’/tm
How to derive k = tr’/tm from k = q/p
Determine velocity i(average) in terms of average velocity of the mobile phase and p and q and solve for p and q. Convert those velocities into tr and tm through distance L. DO OUT ON PAPER
What is alpha Selectivity factor or RRT)
KB/Ka or kb/ka or also RTb/RTa (always greater than 1) also deltav/average(V)
What is z in the gaussian dist
sample x minus the mean divided by stdev (so basically difference from mean, normalized or expressing it in #’s of stdevs)
W at different heights in terms of stdev
Base = 4 stdev, at half its 2.35 stdeev
Gaussian distribution as applied to concentration profile of a peak
c(t) = cmax * e^-((t-tr)^2)/(2stdev^2)
How does theoretical plates relate to how Craig apparatus is able to separate?
so theoretical plates = (tr/stdev)^2 and this is analogous to R (so the more we have tr goes up higher, and stdev increase proportional to root (N)
What is effective plate # and relation to N
RRT/stdev squared; Neff = N *(k/1+k)^2
Equations for H (height in theoretical plates)
L/N, variance/L, X/N, variance/X, X*W2/(16tr^2)
so in sum things it could be related to are L, N, X, W, Tr
Calculate resolution
(difference in Tr divided by average W)
Resolution scales
Adequate is 0.8, 1-1.5 is great, 1.5 is baseline(>99% separation)
Write out how migration distance effect on Rs depends on Delta X (start with resolution equation in terms of X)
Resolution plot that comes from showing Rs proportional to ROOT(X)
Y axis is resolution, and X is distance of migration (X) - and we have a plot for DELTA X (the top of the Rs equation ) - being proportional to X so it’s linear, and we have a curve for the bottom (average W) which since its proportional to ROOT(X) is a curve - and where they meet is where R - 1 (makes sense) and - after that point we see that our DELTA X line is bigger than the average W curve showing that our R will be greater than one after that point with increased migration distance
How does selectivity play into our resolution plot
So in the top part of resolution DELTA X - we determined equaled Delta v tr, in which we sub tr for X/V which gives us (Delta(v) /V)X in our first plot we just had X as a line and now delta v/V is OUR SLOPE FOR THE LINE and this delta v/v is our selectivity so as our selectivity is greater(alpha = tr’/tr’ or K/K or k/k) the slope is higher and we reach a resolution of one with less migration distance of X
How does Plate height play into our Rs plot
For our resolution plot equation - we instead of just saying the denominator is proportional to ROOT(T) we take it literally - we went from Average W to 4ROOT(H*X) which if we we square the inside but take a root of it we can rearrange to to 16H so smaller plate height better -
How does N enter the resolution equation
So when we have DeltaV/V *ROOT(X/16H), X/H = N so it becomes Delta v/v * (N/16)^(1/2)
derive the purnell equation
Start with resolution but in terms of rt - Assume W for both are so average W = W, and replace that with sigma and replace sigma with the theoretical plate equation (in terms of N and rt) THen , replace the rt’s with tm(k+1)’s , work that out and sub in alpha = k2/k1 (IDK how the math works but it works)
What are the purnell factors and how do they affect resolution
Selectivity, N and K; as k increases our peaks have more affinity for SP - move farther along - some resolution but broader peaks, as N increases, we get sharper peaks - same Rt sep but less sigma so better resolution, and Selectivity - makes a big difference eg change mobile phase now they will move differently from each other
How do the effects of the fundamental purnell factors change as they increase
Alpha is fairly linear throughout - better returns, N and K have points where their slopes become really shallow - pretty early for N and K, earlier and shallow for K though
are the fundamental factors *purnell) independant?
no
What is peak capacity
The number of peaks we can fit along a length (essentially L/W*Rs) an be turned into root(N)/ 4
more accruate peak capacity equations
nc = 1 + (ROOTN)/4 * ln(Vmax/VmiN)
Explain alternate isotherms
Langmuir -so we have stronger interactions with SP and MP SO as concentration goes up - the SP gets SATURATED - and at these higher concentrations then - we see k go down - so tr goes down and vi goes up. So the center of our peak moves Faster - in DISTANCE - this creates a tailing peak but iN RT (keep in mind faster means lower RT) - this makes a shark fin tailing peak -
Anti LANGMUIR- the opposite - more affinity for MP - see the opposite happen - creates fronting peaks
Write out the Vi and Tr equations for isotherms in terms of k
so vi = vm/(1+K) and tr = tm(1+k) so we see tr increases with k and vi goes down as k increases.
Tailing asymmetry equiations
asymmetry factor: b/a at 10% (b being behind the peak so > 1 is tailing.
ALSO tailing factor - a+b/2a (at 5% height) - 1 = even no tailing)
pros and cons of fluid
(a) The strength of flow: provides the most powerful and versatile
mechanism of transport available for separative displacement.
(b) The weakness of flow: its nonselectivity and nonuniformity.
Know the relationship between volume, tr and tm, Flow rate length etc
Start with vm = L/tm end with L*F/V (note little v is velocity) big V is volume. Can do with dead volume or just mobile phase flow and also do with SOLUTE flow rate (tr)
What does flow depend on in terms of viscosity
viscosity , area of contact between fluid layers, dv/dy (how velocity changes with y)
How do we calculate Reynauds factor
INERTIA/VISCOSITY (inertia = pvd (solvent density * velocity * pipe diameter).
3 types of flows and expected Reynaud factors?
Plug, Turbulent and Laminar
Plug - infinite -
Turbulent - > 2100 (has laminar zone on edges and turbulent area in middle)
Laminar - < 2100 - center is vmax (Hagen Poiseuille Flow
What is the Hagen Poiseuille equaiton and what does it tell us
Vmax in terms of pressure drop (for laminar flow)
How do you calculate the velocity of a particle x distance from center in a laminar flow
vmax (1-(x^2)/(r^2)) r being radius of tube
Talk about the basis for Hagen-Poiseuille and how it takes it’s final form
It’s essentially- Change in pressure = Flow * Resistance . It dictates average v is proportional to radius of pipe (squared), and change in pressure and inversely correlated with Length of pipe and viscosity
Volumes in a column and how they’re divided into porsoities
so theres overall voluKnowme, interparticle volume and intraparticle volume (so volume inside our particles vs outside it (stagnant vs flowing) - our porosities are then
EE- INTERPARTICLE POROSITY (volume outside of particle/empty column)
EP - INTRAPARTICLE(volume in particle/empty column)
and TOTOAL POROSITY) -EE + EP (void volume of column/ empty column)
* NOTE DIFFERENCE IN VOID VOLUME VS EMPTY COLUMN
Common porosities
EP often .4, EE often .4 and E tot often .8
How does REYNAUDS # change in packed bed and what are the relative #’s expected for flows
instead of d being diameter of pipe - it’s particle diameter
Turublent is > 100
1-100 is a mix of turbulent and laminr
Laminar is < 1
How does Hagen Poiseuille change in packed bed
So instead of r for radius of pipe we have B -specific permeability constant, also instead of in denominator we also have EE (so Bo is R^2/8 (AN OPEN TUBE) which is why it replaces both of those values)
THIS IS DARCYS LAW
For a packed column , what does B depend on and what is an approximation for B in common column types
B depends on EE and particle diameter (positively with both), for a regularly packed column its roughly d^2 / 1000 for a bed packed with spherical particles d^2 /500
Relations in the OVERALL DARCY equation (subbing in the karman conzeny eq for Bo)
Vavg is proportional to changein pressure, particle diameter ^2, inverse proportional with viscosity and length, and generally proportional to EE
relationship between v avg and vm in packed bed
V avg is the set flow I guess and v m is the Actual flow
Vavg* (EE/Etot) = Vm and if we use ee = .4 and eep = .4 we get vavg = vm*2 (VM is less than v avg
Bo in terms of vm?
vm *n * ETot * L divided by delta P
Given Darcy equation whats the relation between change in pressure and dp
inversely related (dleta P = vavg * (constant/dp^2))
Know how to put Vm into Darcys equation (relate Bo to Vm)
Start with Darcys, sub in vavg = VM *(ETOT)/(EE)) rearrange for BO
Mass Transfer and Diffusion definitions
Mass transfer: movement of mass from one place to another
Diffusion: movement of mass from region of high concentration to low
concentration.
