During the chromatography the solvent may be changed from hexanes/ ethyl acetate (8:2) to hexanes/ ethyl acetate (4:6) depending on which ferrocenes are present in the mixture. What is the reason for doing this? Which of these solvent mixtures is more polar? How would you prepare 200 mL of hexanes/ ethyl acetate (8:2)?

Please answer all 5 questions (it could be short answers). 5-1. What is the main barrier to separating liquid mixtures of less than 500 mL by distillation? 5-2. A sample mixture of ethyl benzoate (bp 212 Celsius) and dodecane (bp 216.2 Celsius) is injected on two GC columns. Column A has DC710 silicone oil as the stationary phase, and column B uses polyethylene glycol as the stationary phase. Which substance would be certain to elute first from column A and would the same material be expected to elute first from column B? Which column, A or B, would be expected to give the better separation of these two substances? 5-3. Question 5-2 refers to separating a mixture of two high boiling liquids by gas chromatography. These materials have similar boiling points. List several GC variables and conditions that would make it easier to separate thesesubstances by gas chromatography 5-4.
