Thin‑layer chromatography (TLC) can be used as a preliminary identification method for many amphetamine‑type stimulants (ATS). Using a 0.25 mm thick silica gel stationary phase and a 98.5:1.5 methanol:concentrated ammonia mobile phase, a spot was observed to have traveled 3.52 cm when the solvent front traveled 8.81 cm. What is the retardation factor (?F)for the compound that composes this spot?
All three of these are gas chromatography runs from my sample. I'm trying to figure out what it means when my retention times are as the following. Does this just mean that the machine can't get an accurate read because my sample is un pure?
The compounds biphenyl and naphthalene are presented in a mixture. Can hexane be used as a solvent to separate the compounds by column chromatography with silica gel as the stationary phase? Why or why not.
Chromatography is a separation technique. What is the physical or chemical basis for separation of compounds during thin layer chromatography?
1. In thin layer chromatography (TLC), why do you need to use a pencil in marking the spots, origin, and solvent front and not a marker? 2. Why is it necessary to mark the solvent front immediately? 3. Why do you need to ensure that the loading spot is above the solvent level in paper chromatography? 4. Why do different compounds travel different distances on the piece of paper?
Need help with a and b. A mixture of 1-hexanol, hexane, and 1-chlorohexane is injected on a gas chromatography column. a) Predict the sequence of retention times indicating which compound will have the shortest, middle, and longest retention time. b) The sample vial of (a) was not carefully sealed and left partially open for a couple hours. A GC is taken again with only two peaks realized. The first peak to appear has an area of 24 mm2 and the second peak 40 mm2. What mole% of each compound (specify the compound name) is most likely present?
A yellow compound, dissolved in methylene chloride, is added to a chromatography column. The elution is begun using petroleum ether as the solvent. After 6 L of solvent have passed through the column, the yellow band still has not traveled down the column appreciably. What should be done to make this experiment work better?
You were analyzing a mixture of volatile solvents using Gas Chromatography and found out that two peaks are unresolved (not well-separated) using your initial program. Which method can you use to obtain a chromatogram with well separated peaks?
In paper chromatography, a rectangular piece of filter paper serves as the mobile phase stationary phase eluent solute sample spots
Is the paper chromatography used normal or reverse?. Explain why
In TLC chromatography there is a technique known as Co-spotting. In this technique, a sample of an unknown substance is charged at the same point, together with a known substance and stimulated by some kind of stimulant. In the example below, we loaded biphenyl (a known substance) together with two unknown substances A and B. Is A, or B biphenyl? Justify your answer. What is the alternative method to co-spotting, and which one do you think is better?
In a paper chromatography experiment, what is the relationship between the pigment solubility in a nonpolar solvent and the Rf number?
