Chromatography

If the cuvette is not correctly placed, it can lead to inaccurate results. Light may not pass through the sample evenly, causing inconsistent readings. It is important to ensure the cuvette is positioned properly to obtain reliable and precise measurements.

Longitudinal diffusion is much more important in GC that in LC. Longitudinal diffusion is a large contribution to H at low flow rates. The initial decreases in H in plots of plate height vs. flow rate are thus largely the result of longitudinal diffusion.. Because gaseous diffusion coefficients are orders of magnitude larger than liquid values, the phenomenon becomes noticeable at higher flow rates in GC than in LC. The minimum is sometimes not observed at all in LC.

The purification in molecular sieve chromatography is dependent on the size of the molecules. The small molecules will enter into pores of gel while large molecules will be excluded from the pores.

When a solvent diffuses, it 'drags' whatever is dissolved in it along with it. The further it d\e same, the different dissolved materials sort out as different stripes or peaks and the banding can t\tography

No. A TLC (Thin Liquid Chromatagraphy) plate is made specially. It has different Compounds to it that make it separate from filter paper.

Column chromatography is used in the lab and industry to isolate the compound that they want. Since some chemical reactions are not selective to the product you want, you have to get rid of the products you don't want. Sometimes column chromatography is the only way.

Tonic water does not glow when mixed with green highlighter ink because the quinine in tonic water, responsible for fluorescence under UV light, is not reactive to the wavelength of light emitted by the green highlighter ink. The fluorescent properties of quinine are specific to certain wavelengths of UV light, which the green highlighter ink does not produce.

Silica gels are used in chromatography because of their high surface area and porous structure, which allows for good separation of different compounds based on their interactions with the silica surface. The silica gel can be modified to have different polarities, making it suitable for a wide range of chromatographic separations. Additionally, silica is chemically inert and stable, making it a reliable stationary phase for chromatography.

The solvent in chromatography helps to carry the sample through the stationary phase (e.g., paper, silica gel) by allowing the components of the sample to separate based on their affinity for the stationary and mobile phases. The choice of solvent affects the resolution and speed of separation in chromatography techniques.

Gas chromatography (GC) provides data on the chemical composition of a sample. It separates and analyzes the individual components of a mixture based on their physical and chemical properties. The data provided by GC includes:

1. Retention time: The time it takes for a compound to travel through the GC column and reach the detector. This can be used to identify the compound.

2. Peak area: The area under the peak on the chromatogram represents the amount of the compound present in the sample.

3. Peak height: The height of the peak on the chromatogram represents the concentration of the compound in the sample.

4. Mass spectrum: GC can be coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to provide additional data on the molecular weight and structure of the compounds in the sample.

5. Identification: GC can be used to identify individual compounds in a mixture based on their retention time and mass spectrum. This information can be compared to a database of known compounds to identify the unknown compounds in the sample.

The conclusion of ink chromatography is that it can be used to separate and analyze different components in a mixture of inks based on their solubility and absorption properties. By comparing the results of ink samples with known standards, one can identify the components present in the inks being tested.

If the eluent is above the 1.5cm line in a chromatography experiment there will not be a proper distribution in a test tube to discover the sources of ink on a paper. A chromatography experiment tests for the sources of ink whether it be chemical or plant based.

They use chromatography in machines called HPLCs (High-Pressure Liquid Chromatography), GCs (Gas Chromatography), and UPLCs (Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography). The use it to analyze compounds in a certain sample they have prepared according to their methods or USP methods.

They make the carrier liquid (HPLCs and UPLCs) or the carrier gas (GCs) and this will carry the sample to the stationary phase. The stationary phase is in the column. Each column is different and will separate different compounds at a different rate. You need to make sure you use the correct column which has the correct stationary phase to get the correct looking chromatagram.

The filter paper helps to evenly distribute the solvent vapor within the developing chamber, allowing for uniform separation of the components in the sample. It also acts as a medium for the sample to travel along with the solvent, facilitating the separation process in chromatography.

Calculating the peak area in chromatography can be done with triangulation. Approximating the area as a triangle, the formula for area of a triangle can be employed and a reasonably accurate result obtained.

Being an ionic inorganic salt, PbNO3 is soluble in water which is similar in structure as methanol (CH3OH) but we must remember that water is inorganic in nature unlike methanol which is a typical organic compound. From our knowledge of organic compounds we may simply predict that lead nitrate is insoluble in methanol.

One way to determine if a sample of ink is pure is by conducting a chromatography test, which separates the components of the ink. If only one component is present, the ink is considered pure. Other methods, such as spectroscopy or chemical analysis, can also be used to determine the composition of the ink and confirm its purity.

One common way to determine if a sample ink is pure is to use chromatography techniques to separate the components of the ink and analyze their composition. Another method is to compare the sample ink's properties, such as melting point or boiling point, with the known properties of the pure ink. A chemical analysis using spectroscopy techniques can also be employed to identify any impurities present in the ink sample.

HPLC stands for high performance liquid chromatography. It is a liquid chromatography which involves the separation of the compounds on the basis of their polarity. It is used to analyze, identify, purify & quantify the compounds.

petroleum ether is a lot less polar than solvents like MTBE and the hexanes. so if the stationary phase is a lot more polar than the solvent then the components of the mixture that were added to the column to be separated will get stuck in the stationary phase

The propelling force in paper chromatography is capillary action, where the solvent moves through the paper due to the attraction between the solvent and the paper fibers. This causes the components in the sample to separate as they are carried at different rates along the paper.

Paper chromatography separates molecules based on their solubility in the liquid solvent. One end of the chromatography paper is dipped into a solvent reservoir which travels up the paper via capillary action. The samples are placed on the bottom of the paper, above the initial solvent line. As the solvent travels up the paper, it dissolves the samples and carries them upwards. Based upon the samples' solubility in the solvent, they travel proportionally further or shorter distances.

Isothermal analysis is a process where a system is maintained at a constant temperature during a chemical reaction or physical change. This allows researchers to study the kinetics and thermodynamics of the process under constant temperature conditions. It is commonly used in areas such as materials science, chemical engineering, and biochemistry.

Since amino acids are colourless compounds, ninhydrin is used for detecting them. To identify this, after development, the TLC plate is sprayed with ninhydrin reagent and dried in an oven, at 105°C for about 5 minutes. Ninhydrin reacts with α- amino acids that results in purple coloured spots [(due to the formation of the complex - Rheuman's purple).
