In paper chromatography, a rectangular piece of filter paper serves as the mobile phase stationary phase eluent solute sample spots
An orange compound was added to the top of a chromatography column. Solvent was added immediately, with the result that the entire volume of solvent in the solvent reservoir turned orange. No separation could be obtained from the chromatography experiment. What went wrong?
Gradient elution used in HPLC. How is the gradient created for a reverse-phase HPLC experiment over the course of the run? A)Increase the pH of the mobile phase. B)Decrease the pH of the mobile phase. C)Increase the vapor pressure of the analytes by increasing the temperature. D)Increase mobile phase polarity by increasing the fraction of polar solvent in a binary mobile phase. E)Decrease mobile phase polarity by mixing with a less polar solvent to better compete with the nonpolar stationaryphase. Plz explain properly why statement is not correct

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.
