F2. CHROMATOGRAPHY Flashcards
- separate and identify the components of a mixture
- allows the molecules present in the mixture to distribute themselves bet. a stationary & mobile medium
- separates components within a mixture by using
the differential affinities of the components for a mobile medium and for a stationary adsorbing medium through which they pass
Molecules that spend most of their time in the mobile phase are carried along ____.
CHROMATOGRAPHY
faster
showing a difference, distinctive
Differential
natural attraction or force between things
Affinity
gas or liquid that carries the components
Mobile Medium/ Mobile Phase
the part of the apparatus that does not move with the sample
Stationary Medium/ Stationary Phase
- examine a mixture & its components
- examine their relations to one another
Analyze
- determine the identity of a mixture or a components based on known components.
Identify
- separate components in order to isolate one of interest for further study
Purify
- determine the amount of the mixture
- determine the components present
Quantify
- measure the distance the pigments traveled up and the distance the water traveled
- distance moved by the substance over distance moved by the solvent front
- For substances that are very soluble in the liquid Rf will be close to ____.
- For substances that are rather insoluble in the liquid Rf will be close to ____.
RF - Retardation Factor
- one
- zero
Separates dried liquid samples with a liquid solvent (mobile phase) and a paper strip (stationary phase)
principle of this type of chromatography?
PAPER CHROMATOGRAPHY
- capillary action
- solubility
- movement of liquid within the spaces of a porous material due to the forces of adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension
- The liquid is able to move up the filter paper because its attraction to itself is stronger than the force of gravity
Capillary Action
- degree to which a material (solute) dissolves into a solvent
- allows different solutes to be separated by different combinations of solvents
Separation of components depends on both?
Solubility
- solubility in their mobile phase
- differential affinity to the mobile phase & stationary phase
- uses an absorbent material on flat glass or plastic plates.
- used to detect pesticide or insecticide residues in food
- Most samples are not colored and need to be visualized with a UV lamp.
- used in forensics to analyze the dye composition of fibers
THIN LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY
- used in airports to detect bombs and is used in forensics in many different ways.
- used to analyze fibers on a persons body and also analyze blood found at a crime scene.
used to move a gaseous mixture through a column of absorbent material.
