### Gas Chromatography (GC) Analysis of Borneol and Isoborneol#### Overview of the GC GraphThe displayed graph is a Gas Chromatography (GC) output for a mixture containing acetone, isoborneol, and borneol. The x-axis represents the retention time in minutes, while the y-axis represents the detector response, or counts, which correlates to the abundance of a substance eluting from the chromatography column.- **Peak at 0.82 min**: This peak, with the highest intensity, corresponds to acetone.- **Peak at 2.14 min**: This peak corresponds to isoborneol.- **Peak at 2.45 min**: This peak corresponds to borneol.#### Tabulated Data for Components| Component | Peak Area | Boiling Point (°C) ||-----------|-----------|---------------------|| Acetone | 8.06E+04 | 56 || Isoborneol| 4.84E+04 | 210 || Borneol | 1.61E+04 | 213 |#### Analysis Question**Which of the isomers, isoborneol or borneol, has the highest concentration in the mixture, and why?**Choices:1. o Isoborneol; because it comes out first2. o Borneol; because it comes out first3. o Borneol; because it has the largest peak area4. o Isoborneol; because it has the largest peak area#### Answer AnalysisTo determine which isomer has the highest concentration, we examine the peak areas of isoborneol and borneol. The concentration of a compound in the mixture is directly proportional to the peak area in the GC output.- **Isoborneol Peak Area**: 4.84E+04- **Borneol Peak Area**: 1.61E+04Since isoborneol has a larger peak area compared to borneol, it indicates that isoborneol is present in higher concentration within the mixture.Therefore, the correct answer is:**Isoborneol; because it has the largest peak area.** **Question 7 [Redacted]**Borneol and isoborneol were formed in a reaction. Use the following GC chromatogram of the isoborneol and borneol dissolved in acetone to answer the question: **Please note that the question is below the chromatogram.**![Graph Description]The provided graph is a Gas Chromatography (GC) chromatogram of borneol and isoborneol dissolved in acetone. The x-axis represents time in minutes, while the y-axis represents counts (indicative of the amount of substance detected). There are three peaks in the chromatogram:1. The first peak appears at approximately 0.82 minutes.2. The second peak appears at approximately 2.14 minutes.3. The third peak appears at approximately 2.45 minutes.Below the chromatogram, a table lists the components, their corresponding peak areas, and boiling points:| Component | Peak Area | Boiling Point (deg. C) ||-----------|-----------|------------------------|| Acetone | 8.06E+04 | 56 || Isoborneol| 4.84E+04 | 210 || Borneol | 1.61E+04 | 213 |**Question:**Which of the isomers, isoborneol or borneol, has the highest concentration in the mixture and why?**Answer:** Isoborneol has the highest concentration in the mixture. This conclusion is derived from examining the peak areas in the GC chromatogram. The peak area for isoborneol is 4.84E+04, whereas the peak area for borneol is 1.61E+04. Since the peak area is directly proportional to the concentration of the component in the mixture, isoborneol's higher peak area indicates a higher concentration compared to borneol.
