Thin Layer Chromatography And Column Chromatography

Experiment 55 consists of devising a separation and purification scheme for a three component mixture. The overall objective is to isolate in pure form two of the three compounds. This was done using extraction, solubility, crystallization and vacuum filtration. The experiment was carried out two times, both of which were successful.

Solid impurities and liquid impurities having quite different boiling points are most easily removed by distillation, but even liquids having similar boiling points can be separated. For easy separations, a "simple distillation" apparatus (Figure 1) will be used for the first part, but for more accurate separations, a "fractional distillation" apparatus (Figure 2) is necessary. In this lab we will be using both apparatuses. Unfortunately, each time a distillation is run, material is lost. Some evaporates into the air and some is left behind, stuck to the apparatus. That is why fractional distillation is the best apparatus to use. It is important to keep a careful record of the temperature at the beginning and end of every fraction you collect. Stop the distillation by removing the heat just before all the liquid in the distilling flask is completely gone. Watching the rate of temperature increase is important, allowing the temperature to increase too quickly can cause impurity. The distillation curves for our simple and fractional distillation clearly demonstrate that fractional distillation separates the two compounds more

Me and my lab partner, obtained a mixture of a un known proportion from the instructor and then flow the guide line in our lab manual to separate the mixture by applying the separation method motioned in our lab manual pages 33-40 . In this experiment, the separation methods were decantation,

These layers can be separated through the use of a seperatory funnel which drains the bottom layer into a separate container. This method uses the understanding of partition ratios of solutes to different paired solvents to produce an equilibrium leaning towards one solvent over another, thereby extracting a compound from one liquid to the other (Padias 128-37). For example, consider a mixture containing two solutes, solute A and solute B, and two immiscible solvents, solvent A and solvent B. If solute A dissolves well into solvent A, but not very well into solvent B, and solute B dissolves well into solvent B but not very well into solvent A, there would be a higher ratio of solute A in solvent A than in solvent B, and a higher ratio of solute B into solvent B than in solvent A. One can then see that, through the use of different solvents, two dissolved solutes can be separated from a mixture. This ratio of a solute concentration to different solvents is defined by K, the distribution constant. Successive filtrations yield’s a higher percentage of products.

Which one of the statements concerning valence bond (VB) and molecular orbital (MO) bond theories is correct?

The purpose of this separation of a mixture lab is to give students the challenge of figuring out how to separate a provided mixture, and following through with their procedure. The mixture is composed of salt, sand, poppy seeds, and iron filings, and all of these components should be separated and dried as well as possible by the end of the lab.

0.300 grams of biphenyl/ p-toluidine sample was weighed. Next, 10 mL of dichloromethane was measured in a graduated cylinder. The dichloromethane was transferred to a small beaker then the solid mixture was dissolved in it. A Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) was conducted with the dissolved mixture in 20% Ethyl Acetate and 80% Hexane solution. The TLC plate was observed to be impure with two spots. To being extraction, a separatory funnel was placed inside of the hood and the stopcock was closed. A flask was placed under the funnel then the mixture was added to the funnel. Next, 10 mL of 3M HCL was measured in a graduated cylinder and

The 20ml beaker was washed with dichloromethane to collect the solid left in the beaker. The filtered solution was collected in the 25ml filter flask. Then, the filtered solution was transferred to a clean centrifuge tube and the solid compound was transferred to a clean test

In this column chromatography, acetylferrocene was more polar, therefore was held by the silica gel more tightly and moved through the column more slowly when the eluting solvent was nonpolar hexane. Increasing the polarity of the solvent would move all components faster. That explained when the solvent was switched to the more

In this lab, extraction was use as method for separating a mixture of compounds. Specifically, Benzocaine and Benzoic Acid were individually isolated from a starting mixture which consisted of both components. A percent recovery was found for both. The percent recovery found for the benzocaine was 1%, while the percent recovery for benzoic acid was 35%. These low percentages are result of errors during the experiment. One source of error was during the separation of layers. When separating the two layers, some of the top aqueous layer flowed out with the bottom layer. This happened in all of the separation steps, and caused slight impunity in the compounds. This error could have been prevented by more concentration during this part of the experiment.

     In liquid chromatography, the separator is called the column and consists in most cases of a tube filled with porous material called the stationary phase. A liquid, called the mobile phase, flows through the tube between the particles of stationary phase material. A liquid sample is taken from a mixture to be analyzed and introduced to a part of the system that is at elevated pressure. The sample is then transported to a separator by the flow in the system.

Drug screening, which is generally used in criminal situations, health care and the workplace has recently become more common. The ease of use and fast results have increased the use of immunoassays; however, these can cause false positive results. This can lead to severe consequences if they are not confirmed by secondary analysis, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS). The drugs screened during this experiment were ketamine, methadone, diazepam, codeine and imipramine. This report discusses the use of thin layer chromatography as a drug screen technique. The results obtained from this are compared to the secondary analysis from GCMS which show that the drugs from the unknown sample were ketamine, methadone and codeine. The main techniques are examined to gain a better understanding of the methods used. Potential false positive and false negative results that can occur are also discussed.

In the optimization of the LC conditions, Postigo, Lopez de Alda, and Barceló tested two different columns and three different mobile-phase compositions with varying flow rates (0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 mL/min). For SPE elution and LC separation, binary mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and binary mobile phase consisting of methanol were tested. The mobile phase selected for analysis was gradient acetonitrile/water. Its flow rate was 0.3 mL/min.

The techniques which are further Separated divided into the capillary electrophoresis (CE), gas Chromatography (GC-MS) Separate the volatile compounds in gas column, UPLC (Ultra performance liquid Chromatography)

(1975). HPLC uses either a solid or liquid-coated solid stationary phase and a liquid mobile phase. Separation of analytes is achieved by adsorption of the analyte to the stationary phase. HPLC provides speed, resolution, high sensitivity and specificity (Lima, 2002).
