A HPLC column had a sample (0.10ml) loaded onto it. The detector volume showed 0.15 mL. From this information, what would the variances due to injection and detection be (respectively)?
calculate Rfs for each spot on your chromatogram
At the completion of the experiment, a student measures the solvent front to be 55 mm from the baseline. If a component in the sample being analyzed generates a spot whose diameter spans from 34 to 36 mm from the baseline, calculate the Rf value for that component.
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.
How does increasing the polarity of the developing solvent affect the Rf of a compound on a silica gel TLC plate?
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
There were 2 spots on the TLC that did not match up with any of the standards. What were the Rf values of these spots? Identify what these chemical species might be and draw their structures. Solvent was 3:1:1 n-butanol/acetic acid/water. First plate is TLC plate 1. Second plate is TLC plate 2.
