Consider the following statements as they apply to gas chromatography. Decide if each is true or false. 1. ___ Temperature programming is necessary only for samples containing compounds with a narrow range of boiling points. 2. ___ GC carrier gases are generally inert gases like helium and nitrogen. 3. ___ The injection port temperature should be set at the average boiling point of all analytes. 4. ___ An FID is a mass-sensitive detector, not a concentration-sensitive device. 5. ___ An air peak is commonly used to determine the dead time when using an FID detector.
You are assigned to separate a mixture of colourless amino acids present in protein molecule, using chromatography technique. You have a chrome paper (Filter paper sheet), TLC plate, chrome tank or beaker, Solvent (Hexane) and the mixture of amino acids. Answer the following questions related to your experiment. (a). Which of the chromatography technique (paper or thin layer) will give better separation in this experiment?
Describe chromatography analysis, the two essential phases used in paper chromatography and provide an example.
Iman has a mixture of two compounds A and B. A is a protein, and B is a lipid. He plans to separate the mixture using a column chromatography technique. He packed the column with amino bonded with siloxane material and use a mixture of 20:80 of water: hexane as the mobile phase. i) Sketch the apparatus set up for the chromatographic technique used by Iman. Use the correct chromatographic terminologies to label all of the apparatus, materials, and phases. ii) Predict the sequence of elution when the mixture was loaded onto the separation column. Justify your answer. iii) After the first compound was eluted, Iman discovered that the second compound was taking too long to pass through the column. Please suggest any strategies that could be used to aid the elution process.

A chemist was able to extract a biologically active compound and wants to purify the sample since he is sure that the sample still contains impurities. After running the extract in TLC, the chemist found out that the sample produced only one spot near the solvent front. Suggest how the chemist can achieve a better resolution for the chromatogram.
