Concept introduction:
Chromatography is the technique used to identify the components of a mixture. The division of the distance covered by the component of a compound to the distance covered by solvent in the chromatography technique is known as the
Answer to Problem 1ASA
The
Explanation of Solution
The chromatograph for a mixture that is prepared by a student is shown below.
Figure 1
The modified chromatogram with proper divided parts is shown below.

- 1. What is the retention time of molecule 9?2. What happens to the peak area if the sample amount is doubled?3. If run time is stopped at 5.5 mins, will molecules 8 & 6 be separated and quantified?4. If the flow rate was doubled, will 8&6 be separated and quantified?5. Does a single peak at time T in the chromatogram indicate only one compound is eluted?arrow_forwardHow might the Rf values of colorless substances be determined? That is, how could the colorless spots be located? (for paper chromatography)arrow_forwardThe following Rf values were computed from a normal phase chromatography experiment. Arrange them from most polar to least polar. I - 0.25 II - 0.84 III - 0.56 IV- 0.67 Group of answer choices II > IV > III > I I > III > IV > II I > II > III > IV IV > II > III > Iarrow_forward

Tetrahydrofuranarrow_forwardPreparing a Thin Layer Chromatography experiment there are some common mistakes. Explain what happens in this situation: Sample spots too bigarrow_forwardIn an experiment of Reverse Phase chromatography using C-18 stationary phase and a mixture of methanol/ethyl acetate/acetic acid, a researcher tried to separate the 3 compounds shown below. Which compound would have the lowest Rf and which the highest Rf in this experiment? Explain your answer and show any relevant structures.arrow_forward
