topic 19c: chromatography Flashcards
what does chromatograph do
separates components of a mixture between a mobile phase and a stationary phase
gas chromatography: mobile and stationary
mobile: an inert gas
stationary: a liquid on an inert solid
HPCL mobile and stationary
mobile: liquid
stationary: solid eg silica
a solid stationary phase separates by …
adsorption
a liquid stationary phase separates by
solubility
2 types of column chromatography
GAS chromatography
high performance liquid chromatography
GC used to
separate mixtures of VOLATILE liquids
how does column chromatography separate substances
based off different retention times in the column
what tp use to visualide TLC
UV light
when might u use chromatography
- forensices
drug testing in sport
longer retention time means…
!!!!greater attraction to stationary phase!!!
weaker attraction to mobile phase
amino acids and polar stationary phase
think of ZWITTERIONS and charge
why might you be missing a spot ?
- same rf value as another
- same pigment present twice
TLC: diffeent rf values
- different solubiltiy in the MOBILE PHASE
- different ADSORPTION to the stationary phase
TLC mobile and staionary
mobile: liquid solvent
stationary: SOLID so ADSORPTION
