**Gas Chromatography Analysis of a Four-Component Mixture**This example illustrates a gas chromatogram of a mixture with four components, showcasing their respective areas and retention times (RT).| Component | RT (min) | Area (mm²) ||-----------|----------|------------|| A | 2.564 | 2341 || B | 5.241 | 1278 || C | 1.904 | 4302 || D | 3.217 | 1987 |**Questions for Analysis:**A. Which compound do you suspect is the most volatile? Why?B. Calculate the percent composition of component D. **Explanation:**- **Retention Time (RT):** The time taken for a compound to travel through the chromatography column to the detector. Lower RT suggests higher volatility.- **Area under Peak:** Proportional to the concentration of the compound in the mixture.**Steps:**1. **Identify Volatility:** - The compound with the shortest RT is typically the most volatile.2. **Percent Composition Calculation:** - Use the area of each compound to determine the percent composition.This exercise helps in understanding compound behavior in gas chromatography, focusing on volatility and compositional analysis.

In gas chromatography Less volatile compounds will interact more with the stationary phase, which…

You have obtained a gas chromatogram of a two component mixture of compounds A and B. The height of peak A is 3.84 cm. and the width at half height is 1 cm. The height of peak B is 3.49 cm. and the width at half height is 1.36 cm. The percentage of a component in the mixture is proportional to peak area. Estimate peak areas by multiplying height by width at half height. What was the percentage of compound B in the mixture? (Enter your answer as a number without any percent symbol or the word percent.)

Hi! I am unsure of how to solve this problem. Thank you!
You use paper chromatography to separate the following two molecules. The stationary phase is coated with hexane C6H14 and the mobile phase is water. Which molecule will travel furthest up the paper? Explain using intermolecular forces between molecule and water. OH OH Phenol Napthol
Which is correct? Random errors affect accuracy and systematic errors affect precision. An accurate result shows agreement with the true or accepted value. Precise results can contain significant random error, but little systematic error. The standard deviation is a good measure of accuracy. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stationary phases have low polarities. Which of the following statements is TRUE about gas chromatography using PDMS stationary phases? The gas chromatography column is typically packed with silica microparticles. An oven is used to control the column temperature because a constant temperature is always needed in gas chromatography Octane (C8H18, boiling point: 126 ºC) is eluted later than dodecane (C12H26, boiling point: 216 ºC) 3-Pentanone ((C2H5)2CO, boiling point: 102 ºC) is eluted later than propanol (CH3CH2CH2OH, boiling point: 97 ºC)
