Q

What are the three important differences between GC and HPLC?

A

Diffusion coefficient of the sample in the mobile phase is smaller in HPLC (gives faster analysis)
Viscosity of mobile phase higher in HPLC not a problem in GC as it uses gas.
the compressibility of mobile phase under pressure is small- HPLC safer to use than GC

Q

Why can’t we use OT columns in HPLC?

A

Since we use a liquid for the mobile phase and diffusion is much slower it will take forever for liquid molecules to interact with the stationary phase.

Q

We used packed columns in HPLC but how does that effect the pump?

Q

What is a downside to small particle diamter?

A

increased frictional heating, center of column is 2 celsius warmer than outer wall causes band broadening.

26
Q

How do address band broadening due to small particle sizes?

A

we address this by decreasing the diameter of the column(less than 2.1 mm)

27
Q

How long are HPLC columns and what are they made of?

A

Are 3-30 cm and made of stainless steel

28
Q

Why does mobile phase have to be filtered before entering HPLC column?

A

Because column is easily clogged

29
Q

What is a guard column? Whens it used?

A

is acolumn that protects main column, has same s phase, if pressure of column goes up you remove it and replace w a new one

30
Q

What column mm did we switch too an why?

A

Went from 4.6 mm Id column to 2.1 too have less sample used and less waste

31
Q

What is the most common stationary phase in HPLC?

A

microporous silica particles

32
Q

What is the surface area of the silica particles (s phase)

A

500-600 m2/g!

33
Q

Why can’t silica particles be used over pH 8?

A

Because it dissolves in the base

34
Q

hat do we use for s phase when ph is above 8?

A

use ethyelene bridged silica, resists hydrolysis upto ph 12

35
Q

What is the s phase use din adsorption chromatography?

A

bare silica

36
Q

What is adsorption?

A

When silanol groups in s phase form weka bonds with any mlcl in the vicinty

37
Q

What are adsorption strengths based on?

A

functional group polarity

38
Q

If a molecules has several functional groups, what detemrines the retention properties?

A

most polar one

39
Q

How can a sample mlcl be adsorbed?

A

Can only be adsorbed if it interacts more strongly with s phase than m phase

40
Q

How are sample mclls arranged on the silica surface?

A

all sample molecules arranged on silica surface so
their functional group/double bond close to silanol group
(cannot distinguish hexanol, heptanol + octanol)

strength of interaction also depends on steric factors
→ ideal to separate isomers

41
Q

The more polar steric hindrance what happens to speed of elution?

A

gets slower

42
Q

Why do we use type A silica over type B silica?

A

Type A has exposed silanol groups with strongly retained protnated bases leading to tailing, also has metallic impurities which also lead to tailing

43
Q

What is the most commonly used s phase in liquid liquid chromatography?

A

Bonded s phases, these are s phases that ar ebonded to other mlcls through anyhroud rxns which changes the selectivity of the stationary phase

44
Q

What is the most commonly used s phase bonded phase?

A

ODS (C 18 ocatdectyl stationary phase)

45
Q

How do bulky isobutyl groups protect siloxane bonds?

A

They protect it from hydrolysis at a low ph <2 as it protects it form h30/

46
Q

What is superficially porous C 18 silica?

A

Consists of a 0.25 um thick porous silica layer w stationary phase c18 bonded throughout it.

47
Q

Why do we use superficillay porous c 18 silica?

A

Because they allow a higher diffusion much faster than a fully porous particle

48
Q

How do superficially porous s phases behave like small packing material?

A

Can get the same seperation efficiency like if you used smller packing material but don’t need the high pressure associated w it

49
Q

What is adsorption chromatography?

A

normal phase
chromatography

50
Q

What is elution?

A

solvent
displaces solute
from stationary
phase

51
Q

What has the higher eluting strenght? More or less polar solvent?

A

more polar

52
Q

M phase must be less polar than s phase in order to?

A

in order to displace solute from stationary phase

53
Q

What is eluent strength?

A

measure of solvent adsorption

54
Q

if analyte viscous what more doe sit require to flow through HPLC?

A

Pressure

55
Q

What is reversed phase chromatography?

A

Here s phase is nonpolar and m phase is polar

A hydrophobic part of the analyte reacts w the s phase and a less polar solvent replaces it for adsorption.

56
Q

What does the mobile phase consist of in reversed phase chromatography?

A

consists of mixture sof water or aq buffer solutions with various water-miscible solvents

57
Q

Why is super critical fluid chromtography “green”

A

It reduces organic solvent by 90% by provinding only co2, fast flow and resolution (bcuz of higher diffusion coefficients) and can also dissolve non volatile solutes.

58
Q

def of isocratic elution?

A

elution with a single solvent mixture, only inject this as m phase

use for early eluting peaks or late eluting peaks

59
Q

gradient elution def?

A

slowly increase m phase polarity by adding more of another solvent, this increases speed of seperation and allows for all analytes to be eluted.

60
Q

ability of a column to seperate components is improved by?

A

decreasing plate height

61
Q

What is the van demeter eqn?

A

The van Deemter equation is used to describe the factors that contribute to band broadening in chromatography. It states that H is equal to the sum of three terms, A, B, and C, which represent different mechanisms of band broadening. The A-term is proportional to flow rate and includes factors such as eddy diffusion and multiple flow paths that contribute to band broadening. The B-term is inversely proportional to flow rate and represents longitudinal diffusion, which causes band broadening due to analytes diffusing into areas of lower concentration. The C-term is independent of flow rate and represents the finite time required for solutes to equilibrate between the mobile and stationary phases.

The slower the linear flow rate in the column, the more complete the equilibration between the mobile and stationary phases, which results in less band broadening due to the C-term. Therefore, slower flow rates can lead to better separation efficiency by reducing band broadening. However, slower flow rates also lead to longer analysis times, so a balance between flow rate and separation efficiency must be achieved in practical chromatography applications.

62
Q

What is H in the van demeter eqn?

A

Plate height
