Concept introduction:
Thin layer chromatography or TLC is an analytical technique in which one can separate non-volatile components in a mixture based on polarity of chemical species. There, a sheet of glass, paper, etc. coated with the stationary phase is used which acts as the surface of adsorbent. The components in the sample (dissolved in a mobile phase) move through the stationary phase. Depending on the polarity of stationary phase, some components move faster than other.

- What is the function of the sulfuric acid in the dehydration of alcohols to form alkenes? Why was it important to keep the Gas chromatograph close to room temperature during the analysis of the alkene mixture?arrow_forwardAmino acids and fatty acids do not readily elute from gas chromatography columns even at temperatures above 200 degrees Celsius. What can be done to these biomolecules to allow gas chromatographic analysis?arrow_forwardRemember how you learned that a pure liquid distills within a narrow boiling point range, but that a narrow boiling point range doesn’t necessarily imply a pure liquid? Keeping that lesson in mind, explain this: you know without a doubt from a spectroscopic technique that your product mixture contains 2 distinct products. .. yet your tlc plate shows only one spot. How can this be possible?arrow_forward
- Based on TLC, how can you tell if the reaction is complete and what is the relevvance of the multiple marks in the lanes of the tlc? PROCEDURE To a six inch test tube was added thiamine hydrochloride (0.65 g), followed by water (2mL). The mixture was gently shaken until homogeneous, and then ethanol (7.5 mL)was added. Finally, sodium hydroxide (10%, 1.5 mL) was added and the mixture wasgently stirred to ensure complete mixing.Benzaldehyde (3.8 mL) was then added at room temperature in one portion with gentlestirring. The pH of the resulting reaction mixture was determined and adjusted to >10by dropwise addition of 10% sodium hydroxide. The reaction mixture was then partiallysubmerged in a 65 °C water bath2 and the progress of the reaction was periodicallymonitored by TLC analysis.Once TLC analysis indicated that the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture wascooled to approximately room temperature, and then chilled in an ice-water bath. Theresulting precipitate was collected by…arrow_forwardYou are an aquatic scientist and tasked to sample water that contains chlorophenols for gas chromatographic analysis from your local waste water treatment plant (WWTP). Using knowledge of sample preparation and chromatograph, how would you sample, preserve and prepare these samples for GC analysis and why GC is the best detection technique?arrow_forwardThe three TLC plates below show the analysis of the same mixture of two compounds. One plate was developed in 100% DCM, one in 90:10 DCM/MeOH, and one in 80:20 DCM/MeOH. Determine which plate was developed in which solvent.arrow_forward
- Please answer Questions 5-3, 5-4, and 5-5 (GC Gas Chromatography) 5-2. A sample mixture of ethyl benzoate (bp 212 Celsius) and dodecane (bp 216.2 Celsius) is injected on two GC columns.Column A has DC710 silicone oil as the stationary phase, and column B uses polyethylene glycol as the stationaryphase. Which substance would be certain to elute first from column A and would the same material be expected toelute first from column B? Which column, A or B, would be expected to give the better separation of these two substances? 5-3. Question 5-2 refers to separating a mixture of two high boiling liquids by gas chromatography. These materials havesimilar boiling points. List several GC variables and conditions that would make it easier to separate thesesubstances by gas chromatography. 5-4. Capillary GC columns have better resolution than packed columns even though the enormous surface area provided by the packing material is absent in capillary columns. Why? 5-5. Preparative GC requires…arrow_forwardYou found the following TLC as reference, the solvent used was 2:1 Hexanes: Ethyl acetate; You are synthesizing the same compound but instead, you used 2:1 Ethyl acetate: Hexanes. How would your TLC plate differ from the one found in the literature? Is there a solvent system that might work best to develop your future TLC plates different than the one published?arrow_forward4g 5 g 2 g 100 g 49." R Lactic acid Salicylic acid Trichloroacetic acid Flexible collodion qs ad Sig: wart remover. Use as directed. (a) Flexible collodion contains 20% w/w camphor and 30% w/w castor oil. How many grams of each would be contained in 30 g of the mixture? (b) The specific gravity of castor oil is 0.955. How many milliliters of the oil is contained in 30 g of the mixture? (c) If the specific gravity of the mixture is 0.781, what are the percent w/v con- centrations of lactic acid, salicylic acid, and trichloroacetic acid in the mixture?arrow_forward
- Thank you. 0.02 kg plant extract in 2dm3 of water was shaken with 0.1dm3 ether. Upon checking, 1.7x10-3 kg of plant extract passes into the ether. note that there are no changes in the molecular state of the plant extract. what amount of the plant extract was left unextracted if the aqueous solution was shaken with 0.1dm3 ether the second time?arrow_forwardIsopropanol is a good extraction solvent for plant pigments as it breaks down cell walls and is miscible with pigments. Can you be sure that you only extracted chlorophyll-a from your spinach leaf? If not, what else might have been extracted?arrow_forwardCis-3-hexene and trans-3-hexene can be separated and analyzed using GC without injecting an equimolar standard to a high accuracy. Explain why that is the case for these two compounds while we had to inject an equimolar solution for our experimentarrow_forward
