Q

Steps of gas chromatography?

A
  1. Sample is injected as liquid form into collumn.
  2. Heat of the oven converts sample into gas state.
  3. Carrier gas pushes sample through the collumn.
  4. Those components that bond strongly to the particles in the stationary phase take a longer time to reach the end of the collumn than those components which do not bond strongly.
  5. Each time a component reaches the detector at the end of the collumn, a signal is sent to the computer.
  6. The computer produces a chromatogram whoch shows each component as a peak plotted against time.

A

What components move in

can be liquid or gas

It moves hence ‘mobile’.

Q

Factors of paper chromatography?

A

Basic temperature.

Includes sample preperation.

Good for seperating water soluble inks.

Limited types of mobile phases can be used, so limit to what can be seperated.

Can be slower

Q

Factors of thin layer chromatography?

A

Improvement to paper technique.

Good for - Monitoring reaction progress/identifying components in a mixture/purity determination/conditions for column seperation techniques.

Semi-quantative

Can be quicker than papaer chromatography.

Q

Mobile and stationary phases in high performance liquid chromatography?

A

Mobile - solvents/water/mixes

Stationary - silca based/ many types for certain applications.

17
Q

High performance liquid chromatography information.

A

https://www.chemguide.co.uk/analysis/chromatography/hplc.html

18
Q

Factors of high performance liquid chromatography?

A

Sample preperation

Precise injection volumes

Controlled composition/ flow of mobile phase

Oven temperature

Widely used in analytical laboratories

Quantify components - non volatile mixtures.

Retention times.

19
Q

Mobile and stationary phase for gas chromatography?

A

Mobile phase - un-reactive gas

Stationary phases - polymer or liquid on an inert solid support

20
Q

Factors of Gas chromatography?

A

Sample preperation

Precise injection volumes.

Temperature/gas flow control

Widely used in analytical laboratories

Quantifies components - volatile mixtures.

Has retention times

21
Q

Where is the solvent level always?

A

Below the baseline.

22
Q

Solvent front?

A

Furthest place along chromatogram solvent reaches.

23
Q

Baseline?

A

Where samples of the substances are placed.

24
Q

Solvent level?

A

Where the chosen solvent is placed.

25
Q

What do High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Gas Chromatography have that Thin Layer Chromatography and Paper Chromatography dont?

A

Detectors or a database attached to them.

26
Q

What is the RF value used to work out?

A

Significance of the result.

27
Q

What is the RF value?

A

Retention factor because we look at position of spots in relation to how far the mobile phase travelled.

28
Q

What’s the equation for the RF value?

A

RF = Distance of the spot on the TLC plate/Distance of the solvent front.

29
Q

Lengthily Define chromatography lol.

A

‘A process in which a chemical liquid carried by a liquid or a gas is seperated into components as a result of differential distribution of the solutes as they flow around or over a stationary liquid or solid phase’.
