A single analysis using chromatography produced a chromatogram with three peaks. The peak for compound A has a retention time of 0.44 min, compound B of 5.86 min and compound C of 6.14 min. i) Compound A does not interact at all with the stationary phase. What information can be obtained from the retention time of A? ii) Calculate the retention factors for compounds B and C respectively. iii) Calculate the selectivity factor for compounds B and C.

Use a suitable model to explain how separation and identification of a mixture of organic compounds can be achieved with a thin layer chromatographic (TLC) technique.
QUESTION 5 In a chromatographic separation using a polar stationary phase and a mobile phase composed of 60% hexane and 40% ethyl acetate, two compounds, benzene (peak A) and toluene (peak B), are eluted. The width of peak A at its base is 1.2 min, the width of peak B at its base is 1.3 min, and the retention time of peak A is 5.2 min and peak B is 3.5 min. What is the resolution (Rs) between these two peaks and is it acceptable? R = 1.36. It is not an acceptable resolution. R = 0.74. It is an acceptable resolution. R = 1.36. It is an acceptable resolution. R = 0.74. It is not an acceptable resolution.
An unknown compound was analyzed by GC with octane (C3H18) and decane (C10H22). The adjusted retention times were 14.6 min for octane, and 31.6 min for decane. Calculate the retention index for the unknown if its adjusted retention time was 21.2 min.
In molecular exclusion (size exclusion) chromatography, the molecules have the longest retention times. a) the larger molecules b) the smaller molecules
A student developed a new dye called Dye C. It was analyzed against other dyes using paper chromatography. A solution of 1:1 ethyl acetate:hexane was used as the eluent. The resulting chromatogram is shown in the figure. Determine the retention factor (Rf) values of each spot on dye C. (use 2 decimal places) What other dye/s are present in dye C and what is the dye with least number of pigments?
An analysis of acid mixture was conducted using reversed-phase liquid chromatography with 20 mL/min flowrates and 10 cm column length. The retention time of Y acid was 4.4 min with a width of 1.6 min. While for acid Z, the retention time recorded was 6.8 min with a 1.2 min-width baseline. A non-retained compound appeared at 0.8 min after injection. i) Calculate the capacity factor (k') for acid Z ii) Find the resolution of acid Y and Z iii) Determine the average theoretical plates in the column

Which standard best reflects this concentration?3) What is the approximate retention time of benzoate?
A young researcher set out to develop a method for quantifying the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) content in a contaminated soil sample using open tubular gas chromatography. During the initial stages of method development, the researcher was unable to separate the early eluting compounds, anthracene and naphthalene, with baseline resolution. Select the possible modifications the researcher could make to improve the resolution. use a column with a smaller inner diameter decrease the column length increase the stationary phase thickness increase the temperature choose a different stationary phase

2. Different marker inks were analyzed using a simple paper chromatographyexperiment. Two marker inks were dissolved separately in a solvent and spottedin the chromatogram. The mobile phase used was 1% NaCl and three inkstandards (A-copper-phthalocyanine blue, B-diarylide yellow,C- lithol rubine red)were spotted beside the two sample markers. After the chromatography, thechromatogram showed a separation of colors in the two inks (D and E).a. Calculate the retention factor for each spot from lanes A to E .b. Which ink standard was the most polar? least polar?c. What is the composition of ink D ?
