Stoichiometry Flashcards
Chromatography
The Process where a mobile phase (Which Contains the mixture to be analysed) moves over a stationary phase. As this happens, a process of adsorption and desorption leads to some components of the mixture moving faster over the stationary phase than others
Adsorption
The process by which molecules stick to the surface by other particles. It commonly involves liquid or gas molecules sticking to the surface of solid particles.
HPLC
High performance liquid chromatography is a method for measuring the concentration of organic compounds in a sample. It allows organic molecules at low concentrations to be separated from a mixture. These components can then be quantitatively.
Paper and Thin layer Chromatography
Submerging the edge of a paper into a solvent and watching the sample rise up the paper and undergo a continual process of adsorption and desorption. It aims to seperate out the components in the mixture and identify the presence of a component
Identifying sample components in thin layer chromatrography.
Rf (Retardation factor). This value describes how far the component has travelled up the stationery phase.
rf= 0 Means that component remaind at stationery phase
rf = 1 Means that component is at solvent front and showed no affinity for the stationery phase
rf = inbetween means it showed affinity for both stationary and mobile phase.
Equation to find length (Paper Chromo)
Distance travelled divided by total length from origion to solvent end.
A Chromatogram provides information about
The identity each component of a sample via the rentention time (Qualitative Anaysis).
The Concentration of each component of a sample via peak area (Quantitiatve Analysis)
Order of Molecules From most to least Polar
Most Polar
- Carboxylic acid (Hydrogen, dispersion , dipole, 3 Polar bonds)
- Alcohol (Hyrdogen, Dipole, Dispersion, 2 Polar Bonds)
- Ester (Dipole, Dispersion)
- Alkane (Weak Dispersion)
Concentration of Cl in 250ml (V) of solution 52.2g (Mass) of Aluminium chloride (AlCl3) is
4.76M
n(AlCl3) = 52.9 divided by 133.5 = 0.396 n(Cl) = 3 x 0.396 = 1.18 mol C = 1.18 divided by 0.25 = 4.76M
