The partition coefficient of ammonia between water and chloroform is wanted to be determined. The necessary quantities of ingredients are taken into the separation funnel, and the extraction process is applied. At the end of the extraction process, 5 mL portions of each of the water and chloroform phases are titrated with 0.1 M HCI in the presence of methyl orange indicator. If the volumes spent at the turning points are 7.2 and 5.1 mL, respectively, calculate the KSU, KLOROFORM (Dispersion coefficient) value.
Gravimetric factor:A 1.0125 g portion of the sample was oven-dried leaving 0.9385 g of dry matter. In a similar experiment a 2.0163 g portion of the sample was oven-dried and extracted with a non-polar solvent. the solvent was evaporated leaving a 0.8444 g residue. what is the amount of crude fat present in the feed? (in %w/w, dry matter basis)
With the principles of GFC, which of the following statements is incorrect?a. For small molecules, their elution volume, Ve > VOb. For a very large molecule, its elution volume, Ve = Voc. Blue dextran is used to determine the void volume because it is too large and cannot get into the beads and therefore excluded from the gel.d. Low molecular weight molecules are freely accessible to the gel particles, and elute at a volume equal to the internal pore volume.Pls explain why
prepare an assignment on Application of HPLC in Drug Analysis(Amiloride): one page show name of the drug, dosage form, extraction step, type of column, separation parameters e.g., flow rate, mobile phase, detection wavelength and run time
To determine the soil distribution coefficient (Kd), 10 g of dry soil is spiked with 100 mg of ring-labeled 14C-atrazine, 10 mL of deionized water is added, and the system is shaken for 24 hours. The aqueous and solid phases are separated, and the solid phase is extracted with 50 mL of methylene chloride while the aqueous phase is extracted with three successive 5 mL portions of methylene chloride. The atrazine concentration in the 50 mL of soil extract is 10 mg/L, and the concentration in the combined 15 mL from the aqueous extractions is 0.4 mg/L. Based on this information, calculate Kd.

What other method besides conductivity can be used to determine CMC (critical micelle concentration)?
In order to improve the peptide separation by using a HPLC system, trifluoroacetic acid acts as mobile-phase modifier was added during the preparation of mobile phase. The preparation was performed by a postgraduate student as following:“2.851 g trifluoroacetic acid (MW: 114.02 g/mol) was made up to 500 cm3 in a graduated flask. To this solution, 50 cm3 of ethanol was added, and after mixing the mobile phase was placed in the solvent reservoir and pumping was commenced at 1.5 cm3 min-1.”Based on the given preparation procedure, identify THREE mistakes that were made.
In an experiment to deposit ZnO doped thin films, 3.2mg of dihydrated zinc acetate was dissolved in 45g of methanol along with 3mg of bismuth nitrate as bismuth source. The experiment was conducted at 400 degree and well adhered thin films were obtained. Calculate the mole fraction of each species present in deposited doped ZnO thin films
hree components in a mixture have varying distribution constants between the mobile phase and the stationary phass One of the components has a very low distribution constant, Would this component likely elute first or last and how would you design an experiment or modify the components of the separation to make it perform in the opposite manner?
A scientist wishes to measure the concentration of methyl benzoate in a plant stream by gas chromatography. He prepares a sample of butyl benzoate to use as an internal standard. The results of a preliminary run, which used a solution known to contain 1.37 mg/mL of methyl benzoate (peak A) and 1.51 mg/mL of butyl benzoate (peak B), are shown. The area of peak A is determined to be 3.40×102 and the area of peak B is determined to be 398 measured in arbitrary units by the computer. To measure the sample, 1.00 mL of a standard sample of butyl benzoate containing 2.49 mg/mL is mixed with 1.00 mL of the plant stream material. Analysis of the mixture gave a peak area of 437 for peak A and 415 for peak B. What is the concentration of methyl benzoate in the plant stream?
