51
Q

What is fronting?

A

It is caused by GC overloading. The soluted moves slower at higher concentrations. Gradual increase at the front end of the peak and normal Gaussian shape at the back end of the peak. Liquid stationary phase film is saturated with solute so SP looks like solute.

52
Q

What is tailing?

A

Overloading in LC/HPLC. Secondary undesirable interactions of solute with SP particles (hot spots) or contaminants in silica particles. Kd decreases, limited retention capacity, and at high solute concentrations, the solute saturates a significant portion of SP sites leaving fewer sites available for retention. Retention of the solute is reduced.

53
Q

A

It has a carrier gas mobile phase and a liquid or solid stationary phase. Volatile liquids or gas samples are analyzed.

54
Q

Q

What is partition chromatography?

A

Gas-liquid chromatography; Wall coated open tubular column or support coated open tubular column.

56
Q

As the temperature of a GC column increases, the (blank) of the analyte increases, the retention time (blank), and the peak shapes (blank).

A

vapor pressure, decreases, sharpen

57
Q

A

Increases the retention factor and H

58
Q
