A mixture of three compounds was chromatographed using a silica gel column with diethyl ether/hexanes (10:90) as the eluting solvent. Fractions were collected and TLC analysis of each fraction was performed, with the results shown here: A C 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Mixture before separation Which fractions should be combined to give pure samples ofA, B and C?

13. Electrospray time-of-flight mass spectrometry was used to analyze the eluate from a high-performance liquid chromatography separation. The mass spectrum of one chromatographic peak, containing a protein of unknown molecular mass, displays MH peaks at m/z = 5 654.208, 5 277.326, 4 947.590, 4 656.613, 4 397.990, and 4 166.576. Find the average molecular mass (M) of the neutral protein and its standard deviation.
Given the mass chromatography, identify the peaks of 200, 144, and 115 for 2-Naphthyl-Butylether.
A student used thin layer chromatography to confirm whether he could successfully separate two compounds. Here is the TLC plate he obtained after 30 min. Stationary phase was silica gel and mobile phase was 95 % ethyl acetate and 5 % Hexane mixture.
In 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.

A standard sample of compound A was placed on a silica TLC plate. After elution in 30/70 ethyl acetate/hexane, the sample showed a single spot at 3.4 cm (relative to the initial point) after the solvent had risen to 7.1 cm (relative to the initial point). A sample which was thought to contain this compound was analyzed by TLC and showed two spots after elution in the same solvent system. The solvent height for this plate was 6.5 cm (relative to the initial point) and the spots were located at 3.6 cm and 5.2 cm (relative to the initial point). Can either of these spots possibly be compound A? Explain. Include a discussion of the R, for each spot.
You are trying to separate a sample with 2 components: X and Y with GC. X has a lower boiling point than Y. Which one has a higher retention time? What is the most common way to increase retention of analytes in gas chromatography?
a. Say you are trying to separate two compounds by column chromatography. You run a column and collect the eluent in five fractions. You analyze each fraction by TLC on the same plate (shown below). Based on the TLC plate, how effective was your separation? Consider the purity of each fraction. - - - - - - - - ----| 1 2 3 4 5
The write-up says “A C18-silica column is used in this experiment, a 0.46 x 15 cm column with 5-µm particles. Equilibrate the column with 20 empty column volumes of 0.010 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.2) at a flow rate of 1.2 mL/min before beginning chromatography.” Show the calculation for how much mobile phase you would use (volume) and how long it will take to equilibrate the column.
Next, 2.00 mL of 9.63 mM S was added to 10.00 mL of a solution of unknown concentration of X, and the mixture was diluted to 25.0mL. Chromatographic analysis of this solution produced peak areas of 4822 for X and 4099 for S. What was the concentration of 5 (in mM) of the 25.0mL solution?
