(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;

Do you agree/disagree with the following statement below? State your reasons. "Classical precipitation gravimetric analysis is best used towards the end of quantitative analysis while classical volumetric analysis is best used as the first technique to quantify analytes."
A method of quantitative determination of the concentration of constituentsof a sample analyzed by gas chromatography is area normalization. Thiscomplete elution of all sample constituents is required. Thearea of each peak is measured and corrected for the detector response to the diffe- renteseluatos. This correction involves dividing the area by an empiricalcorrection factorDetermined. The concen ration of the analyte is found from the ratio between itscorrected and the total corrected area of all peaks. For a chromatogram containing threerelative areas were determined as 16.4; 45,2; and 30.2, in the order ofincreased retention time. Calculate the percentage of each compound if therelative responses from the detector are 0.65, 0.73 and 0.85, respectively.
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.

Classify the descriptions based on whether they apply to ion‑exchange, size‑exclusion, or both types of chromatography columns. - Proteins move through the column at rates determined by their net charge. - The gel bed will contain polymer beads with charged functional groups. - Proteins move through the column at rates determined by their size. - The gel bed will contain porous polymer beads. - The properties of the proteins affect the rate at which they migrate. - Proteins are separated based on differences in their amino acid sequences.
Penicillin F is recovered from a dilute aqueous fermentation broth by extraction with amyl acetate, using 6.5 volumes of solvent per 100. volumes of the aqueous phase. At pH = 3.8 the distribution coefficient KD is 74. (a) What fraction of the penicillin would be recovered in a single ideal stage? (b) What would be the recovery with three-stage extraction using fresh solvent in both stages?

hree components in a mixture have varying distribution constants between the mobile phase and the stationary phass One of the components has a very low distribution constant, Would this component likely elute first or last and how would you design an experiment or modify the components of the separation to make it perform in the opposite manner?
A mixture of three components is separated using paper chromatography, and each component is analyzed using absorption. With standards containing 100 ppm of each component run simultaneously, the following data were obtained: cmpd A, 0.72 absorbance; B, 0.55; C, 0.80. For the unknown mixture, the data obtined when run under identical conditions were as follows: cmpd A, .0.15 absorbance, B, 0.84; C, 0.75. a) Calculate the relative percentage composition of the unknown mixture. b) The distances traveled by the three components were 8.5, 6.3, and 5.5 cm, respectively.

(2) Sally starts eluting her column with petroleum ether in hopes of separating her 50:50 ferrocene: fluorenone mixture. She notices her mobile phase getting low when there is limited separation between her two components. She eagerly adds more solvent to avoid her column from drying out. Sally then realizes she poured from her 1:1 petroleum ether: diethyl ether beaker rather than her petroleum ether beaker. (a) Using the molecular view below, explain how this would impact her product elution from the column. top of column H buret wall AI H H H H H H H H H H bottom of column buret wall (b) How does this error impact her experimental results?

The distribution ratio D for an analyte is defined as the ratio of its analytical concentration in two immiscible solvents (organic versus aqueous): D = Corg/Caq Show that the fraction of analyte remained in the aqueous phase after the extraction (from aqueous to organic) is given by the following: Fraction remained = Vaq/(VorgD + Vaq) where Vaq and Vorg are the volume of water and organic solvent used in the extraction, respectively.
