Q

principle of chromatography

A

a mobile phase will carry a dissolved mixture through a stationary phase. The separation occurs, as some of the components of the mixture tend to be held by the stationary phase and move more slowly than those that mix well with the mobile phase

to enable the syringe to be fitted exactly into the column, without this, it is not possible to force the liquid through the column under pressure

separation

A

the components of this mixture separate out at different rates as they are carried through the column

63
Q

as each component leaves the column, a detector records a signal and plots a chart called a gas chromatogram

64
Q

GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY

how do components show up on the chromatogram

65
Q

GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY

what is it used for

A

to measure the level of alcohol in our blood or urine and in drug test samples from athletes

HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY

function

A

used to determine non-volatile components of a mixture

67
Q

HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY

particles of the solid phase and what can you do

A

very small, pressure is used to force the mixture through

68
Q

HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY

temperature and why

A

temperature not as high as GC so this prevents the decomposition of substances at high temperatures

69
Q

HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY

pressure

A

the column is not as long and made of material that can withstand the high pressures used

70
Q

HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY

where is it used

A

in food analysis - growth promoters in meat and vitamins in food

71
Q

INFRA-RED SPECTROMETRY

organic compounds

A

organic compounds absorb infra-red radiation (the bonds do) and the bonds begin to vibrate

72
Q

INFRA-RED SPECTROMETRY

different bonds

A

different bonds absorb different amounts of energy and so vibrate differently

73
Q

INFRA-RED SPECTROMETRY

finger-print

A

the vibrations are like a fingerprint for each molecule and the molecules can be identified by checking them against a data-base

74
Q

INFRA-RED SPECTROMETRY

what is it used for

A

to identify plastics and drugs

75
Q

ULTRA-VIOLET SPECTROMETRY

what may happen when a substance absorbs ultra-violet light

A

an electron may be promoted o a higher energy level and a spectrum is obtained

76
Q

ULTRA-VIOLET SPECTROMETRY

max absorption

A

max absorption usually occurs at a certain wavelength, and this helps to identify the compound and its concentration, as absorbance is related to concentration

77
Q

ULTRA-VIOLET SPECTROMETRY

what is it used for?

A

quantitive determination of organic compounds e.g drug metabolites and plant pigments
