A three-component mixture containing compounds A, B, and C is separated by simple distillation. A fraction from that distillation is collected and analyzed by gas chromatography. The resulting chromatogram is overlaid on a ruler in the figure shown below. Using this figure and the data contained therein, determine the percentage composition of each component in this fraction by the triangulation method (i.e. determine the percentages of A, B, and C in this fraction). Be sure to show the setup for your calculations. 15 AA A 10 5. 10 15 20 25 30 35 (both axes are in mm)

Despite their structural differences, separation of mixtures of organic compounds (such as the arenes benzoic acid, 4-t-butylphenol, and benzamide) often proves difficult. Silica gel chromatography, however, can be used with some success provided that an appropriate solvent is used to provide optimal separation. Consider, for example, the TLC plate pictured at right after developing and UV visualization where prior to elution, lanes A and B were spotted with 4-t-butylphenol and lanes B and C spotted with benzamide. Which of the following must be true? In the space provided, indicate the CORRECT answers (as 1, 2, and/or 3) then explain your reasoning for all three statements. Benzamide elutes faster than t-butylphenol. The Rf for t-butylphenol is less than that of benzamide. Benzamide is more polar than 4-t-butylphenol
In a chromatographic analysis, a solution containing 0.0837M toluene and 0.0666M xylene resulted in peak areas of Atoluene= 423 and Axylene= 347. To analyze an unknown sample, 10.0mL of 0.146M xylene was added to 10.0mL of an unknown toluene-containing solution, and the mixture was diluted to 25.0mL. This mixture gave a chromatogram with peak areas of Atoluene= 553 and Axylene= 582. What was the concentration of toluene in the unknown solution?
A student properly sets up a column chromatography experiment. Although the mixture is soluble in the mobile phase, the sample appears "stuck" at the top of the column and will not elute regardless of how much solvent is applied. What could be the cause of this problem and what could the student do to try and achieve a successful separation?
One method for quantitative determination of the concentration of constituents in a sample analyzed by gas chromatography is the area normalization method. In this method, complete elution of all of the sample constituents is necessary. The area of each peak is then measured and corrected for differences in detector response to the different eluates. This correction is accomplished by dividing the area by an empirically determined correction factor. The concentration of the analyte is found from the ratio of its corrected area to the total corrected area of all peaks. For a chromatogram containing three peaks, the relative areas were found to be 16.4, 45.2, and 30.2 in the order of increasing retention time. Calculate the percentage of each compound if the relative detector responses were 0.60, 0.78, and 0.88, respectively
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.
For thin layer chromatography, why should a piece of filter paper that is moistened with the developing solvent be placed inside the developing chamber before the plate is developed? Group of answer choices to absorb excess solvent from the TLC chromatogram plate to absorb any impurities in the eluent to signal completion of the experiment to ensure that the atmosphere of the chamber is saturated with eluent vapor
As a newly appointed research officer, Marissa has been assigned a task to separate a mixture containing acetone, acetamide and 1,2-dichloroethane using a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) technique. The instrument was equipped with a 40-cm column packed with cyano propyl bonded to the siloxane backbone material. i) List THREE (3) examples of mobile phase solvent/solvent systems that can be used with the column above. ii) Determine the sequence in which the three analytes eluted from the column and explain the underlying principle applied. iii) Sketch the chromatogram that would be produced if the column was replaced with a column filled with C18 hydrocarbon bound to the siloxane backbone material and acetonitrile was employed as the mobile phase. Label the peaks observed.

Earth, a CHEM 40.1 student, extracted a mixture of pigments from the roots of Rubiatinctorum, commonly known as rose madder. Earth spotted the root extract on twohydrophobic silica gel plates. He then placed each plate in separate developing chambers,one containing solvent system WHITE and the other housing solvent system MIX. Earthallowed the chromatograms to develop for around five minutes. Afterwards, he removedthe plates from the containers and placed them inside an iodine chamber. Thechromatograms resulting from the TLC experiment after visualization are illustrated asfollows. The distances travelled by each spot and by the solvents were measured andrecorded in the displayed table.
The following data give the recovery of bromide from spiked samples of vegetable matter, measuredusing a gas–liquid chromatographic method.
