Q

why is tetramethylsilane (TMS) used

A

*its signal is away from all the others
*it only gives one signal *gives strong signal so only a small amount needed
*it is non-toxic
*it is inert
*it has a low boiling point and so can be removed
from sample easily

Q

what does the δ depend on

A

what other atoms/groups are near the

23
Q

what is it called when there is more than 5 splitting peaks

A

multiplet

24
Q

what is chromatography

A

an analytical technique that separates
components in a mixture between a mobile phase and a stationary phase

25
Q

what does separation by column chromatography depend on

A

the balance between solubility in the moving phase and retention in the stationary phase

26
Q

how does solid stationary phase separate by

A

adsorption

27
Q

how does liquid stationary phase separate by

A

relative solubility

28
Q

what is the state of the mobile phase

A

liquid or gas

29
Q

what is the state of the stationary phase

A
  • may be a solid (as in thin layer chromatography, TLC)
  • a liquid or solid on a solid support (as in gas
    chromatography, GC)
30
Q

if the stationary phase was polar……

A

the moving phase was non- polar
- e.g. hexane
then non- polar compounds would pass through the column more quickly than polar compounds as they would have a greater solubility in the non-polar moving phase

31
Q

what does HPLC stand for

A

high performance liquid chromatography

32
Q

what is the stationary phase of HPLC

A

a solid silica

33
Q

what is the mobile phase of HPLC

A

a liquid

34
Q

what is the mobile phase in gas - liquid chromatography

A

a inert gas such as nitrogen, helium, argon

35
Q

what is the stationary phase in gas - liquid chromatography

A

a liquid on an inert solid

36
Q

what is gas - liquid chromatography be used for

A

be used to separate mixtures of volatile liquids

37
Q

what is retention time

A

The time taken for a particular compound to
travel from the injection of the sample to where
it leaves the column to the detector

38
Q

what is GC-MS used for

A

in analysis, in forensics, environmental
analysis, airport security and space probes

39
Q

if gas liquid chromatography is added to IR or NMR machine what does it enable

A

enabling all the components in a mixture to be identified

40
Q

what is the method of TLC

A

a) wearing gloves, draw a pencil line 1 cm above the bottom of a TLC plate and mark spots for each sample, equally spaced along line
b) use a capillary tube to add a tiny drop of each solution to a different spot and allow the plate to air dry
c) add solvent to a chamber or large beaker with a lid so that is no more than 1cm in depth
d) place the TLC plate into the chamber, making sure that the level of the solvent is below the pencil line. replace the lid to get a tight seal
e) when the level of the solvent reaches about 1 cm from the top of the plate, remove the plate and mark the solvent level with a pencil. allow the plate to dry in the fume cupboard
f) place the plate under a UV lamp in order to see the spots. draw around them lightly in pencil
g) calculate the Rf values of the observed spots

41
Q

what are the precautions of using TLC

A
  • wear plastic gloves to prevent contamination
    from the hands to the plate
  • pencil line –will not dissolve in the solvent
  • tiny drop – too big a drop will cause different
    spots to merge
  • depth of solvent– if the solvent is too deep it
    will dissolve the sample spots from the plate
  • lid– to prevent evaporation of toxic solvent
    - will get more accurate results if the solvent is allowed to rise to near the top of the plate but
    the Rf value can be calculated if the solvent
    front does not reach the top of the plate
  • dry in a fume cupboard as the solvent is toxic
  • UV lamp used if the spots are colourless and
    not visible
42
Q

if using amino acids, what can be used instead of a UV lamp

A

ninhydrin spray to locate spots

43
Q

equation of Rf

A

distance moved by the solvent

44
Q

The dipeptide formed is hydrolysed under acidic conditions and the resulting mixture is analysed by column chromatography. the column uses a polar stationary phase. explain why lysine leaves the chromatography column after alanine

A

lysine ion has 2 positive charges whereas alanine has 1 so lysine has greater attraction for the stationary phase

45
Q

explain why different compounds will have different retention times in the same
column, under the same conditions

A
  • depends on the solubility of the component of the stationary phase. the greater the solubility of the component of the stationary phase, the greater the retention time
  • depends on the boiling temp of the compounds. high boiling temp compounds spend less time in the gas phase/ mobile phase so have longer retention time
46
Q

in the tripeptide, giving a reason for the
lack of a third spot on the TLC

A

one amino acid is present twice
OR
another amino acid has the same Rf value as the other amino acids

47
Q

give two reasons why different amino acids have different Rf values

A

amino acids have different solubility to the stationary phase
amino acids have different solubility in the mobile phase

A
