(a) In High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), the separation method is by partition of the solute (analyte) between the mobile phase and the stationary phase. Explain how this leads to separation of analyte mixtures; (b) Describe the structure and materials use in a typical column used for HPLC. Thereby explain why high pressures have to be used in HPLC; (c) Discuss how the need for high pressures also imposes requirements on the injector;

A STOCK SOLUTION containing 0.1581 g/L K2CrO4 was prepared.In order to make the CALIBRATION STANDARD, 5 ml of the STOCK was transferredinto a 50ml volumetric flask and then diluted with an appropriate solvent.Calculate:(a) The ppm of K2CrO4 in the CALIBRATION STANDARD.(b) The molarity of K2CrO4 in the CALIBRATION STANDARD. (c) Calculate the molar absorptivity of K2CrO4 (at 371.0 nm). Assume that Beer's Law isobeyed over this concentration range.At 371.0 nm, this CALIBRATION STANDARD in a cell of path length 1.00 cm gave a %T of 59.752.
The complete ionic composition of natural waters often is not known, aquatic chemists have developed equations to estimate ionic strength (/) from readily available information such as electrical conductivity (e.g., specific conductance (SC) in µS/cm) or total dissolved solids (TDS): /= 1.6 × 10-5 × SC (for 1 <0.06); / = 1.3 × 10-5 × SC (for 1 < 0.5) /= 2.5 x 10-5 × TDS; TDS ≈ b × SC (b= 0.55-0.70) Your field measurement of a stream sample gave a specific conductance of 100 µS/cm, and your analysis of the water gave concentrations of Na+, Ca²+, Cl-, and HCO3 of 9, 21, 6, and 45 mg/L, respectively. Are these measurements consistent?

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.

A gas chromatogram of a mixture of toluene and ethyl (a) Measure w1/2 for each peak to the nearest 0.1 mm. When the thickness of the pen trace is significant relative to the length being measured, it is important to take the pen width into account. It is best to measure from the edge of one trace to the corresponding edge of the other trace, as shown at the bottom of the left column. (b) Find the number of theoretical plates and the plate height for each peak.
