Professor Forni has hired you as a research assistant and you need to make an X-gal staining solution for your sections containing 5mM potassium ferrocyanide, 5 mM potassium ferricyanide, 2 mM MgCl2, 0.1% Tween and 0.1% BCIP. You need 50 ml. As you are getting ready you discover that your colleague has used up all but 20 mg of the MgCl2.How much MgCl2 do you need to make 50 ml of X-gal staining solution? Do you have enough? Hint: we only care about MagnesiumChloride here. (MW MgCl2 is 95.21 g/mol)

1. Define retention factor. Explain why it is or isn't an intrinsic property of a substance. 2. A scientist was separating inks using a mixture of acetone and water as the mobile phase. Her assistant forgot to take out the paper and the solvent went past the top of the stationary phase. How will this affect the retention factors of the ink components? Will they be underestimated or overestimated? Explain.
TLC was used to compare the solubility of two compounds A and B in a solvent system (acetic acid, methanol, H2O). The distances that solvent has moved in the silica gel TLC was 12 cm. and for the compounds were 2 and 8 cm respectively. (a) Calculate the Rf values and which compound is more soluble and which one is more polar. (b) What are the factors affecting the Rf value
From the six analytes listed below, n-octanal, n-octane, 1-chlorooctane, n-octanol, n-heptane, and n-octanoic acid predict retention order (shortest to longest retention times) if the SP is: 100% polyethylene glycol or 100% dimethylpolysiloxane.
In a reverse-phase separation, a solute was found to have a retention time of 19.6 min, while an unretained peak had a retention time of 1.45 min when the mobile phase was 20/80 v/v% methanol/water. (b) Calculate the k’ for the solute. (c) Calculate the new k’ if the mobile phase is changed to 60/40 methanol/water assuming identical void volume. (d) Calculate a solvent composition that would bring k’ from initial value to a value of 1.20 using tetrahydrofuran/water mobile phase rather than 20/80 v/v % methanol/water.
A weak acid, HA, has a pKa of 6.5. If you are utilizing ion-exchange chromatography with an anion exchange resin, what pH range is beneficial to the binding to the stationary phase? And Why?
Does resolution of the paper chromatography method can be great enough for complete separation of the metal ions such as Co^2+, Cu^2+ and Fe^3+, and Ni^2+?
An unretained solute is eluted from a GC column in 1.80 min. Decane (C10H22) is eluted in 15.63 min and undecan (C11H24) is eluted in 17.22 min. What is the retention time (report to 2 decimal places, in minutes) of a compound whose retention index is 1050?
Which statements are true for molecular exclusion chromatography?I Molecular exclusion chromatography separates on the basis of size.II Small molecules that freely pass through the stationary phase, Kav = 0.III Small molecules can fit in the pores of the stationary phase and effectively pass through a larger volume, and elute last.IV The pores in the stationary phase are too small for large molecules to pass through, so large molecules elute last.V Molecular exclusion chromatography with a hydrophilic stationary phase and an aqueous solvent is called gel permeation chromatography.

a) What would you see if you ran a Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) on a mixture of the three solids shown below using silica gel as the stationary phase and ethyl acetate/hexanes as the mobile phase? Whichsolid would have the highest Rf and which would have the lowest Rf? Explain b) Would changing the mobile phase (from part a) and increasing thepolarity by introducing small amount of methanol to the mobile phase change the order ofRf of the above 3 compounds? Explain c) Another type of chromatography is Reverse Phase Chromatography. In this type ofchromatography, the stationary phase is non-polar and the mobile phase is polar. If astudent performed Reverse Phase TLC on the mixture of 3 solids (from part a),what would be the order of Rf’s of the compounds? Which would have the lowest Rf andwhich would have the highest Rf?

Paper Chromatography and TLC are examples of planar chromatography. True or FalsE?
Polar solutes were separated by normal-phase chromatography on bare silica, using methyl t-butyl ether and 2-propanol solvent. How would retention times be affected if eluent were changed from 40 vol% to 60 vol% 2-propanol?
