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?
In the table below, record the color that you observe for each spot or component of each spot after the run is completed. For the retention factor, R₁, write in the numerator (top) the number of mm that the spot has moved and in the denominator (bottom) the number of mm that the solvent has moved from the point where the samples were 'spotted. Calculate the Rf vale for each spot or component of each spot. Im having a difficult time finding the Retention Factor for M&Ms by using Salt water and seeing how much each color moves Instructions Coffee filters usually are round, but it's easier to compare your results if the paper is rectangular. So, your first task is to cut the coffee filter into a rectangle. Measure and cut a 2-3/4" by 7" strip from the middle of a coffee filter. This is easily done by folding the filter in half (to make a half-circle) and then folding the half-circle into thirds. Cut along the 13-fold lines and trim the ends to make a rectangle. 2.

You run the chromatography system with paper as the stationary phase and 70% isopropanol as the mobile phase. You determine the Rf of a polar analyte to be 0.40. If you use 100% isopropanol (a less polar solvent) instead of isopropanol as the mobile phase what would you expect to happen to the Rf value? No value effect on Rf higher lower could be higher or lower
What are the general characteristics of Gas Chromatography, Thin Layer Chromatography, Ion Exchange, HPLC, SEC and Affinity Chromatography?
thin layer chromatography: What would happen to the Rf value of a compound if you increased the polarity of the mobile phase while using a polar stationary phase? please help me this question! Thank you a lot
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?
