54
Q

Gas chromatography

A

Measures retention times of components in mobile phase in addition to quantitative analysis

55
Q

HPLC

A

similar to GC but mobile phase is liquid and is used for less volatile or more reactive chemicals

56
Q

Ion chromatography

A

Similar to HPLC but uses ion exchange resins for separation

57
Q

Ion exchange electrodes

A

Glass electrode that gives highly selective response to hydrogen ions, commonly used in pH meters

58
Q

Electron capture detectors

A

Isotope releases electrons in carrier gas towards an anode to create a current. Electron capturing analytes take an amount of those electrons, affecting the current.

59
Q

Flame ionization detector

A

Creation of organic ions by passing H2 through a flame, measuring conductivity of the flame. Used with many organic compounds.

60
Q

Photoionization detector

A

Creates ions through UV exposure, measures conductivity of gases in the light field. Used with organics, especially aromatics.

61
Q

Fick’s Law of Diffusion

A

W = D (A/L) (C1 - C0)

W = mass transfer rate
D = Diffusion coefficient
A = Frontal area of static layer
L = Length of static layer
C1 = ambient concentration
C0 = concentration at collection surface (should be 0)
