In the second paragraph you should define and describe the process of gas chromatography. In this paragraph answer the following questions: a) Why might it be necessary to dilute the sample? Approximately how much sample is used? b) Describe good injection technique. What sort of syringe is used in gas chromatography? c) What property of compounds will make the retention time longer or shorter? Use as an example ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, and butyl acetate, since these compounds are the ones we are studying in this experiment. d) What are a few different types of detectors and how do they work?

Write TRUE if the BOLD word/phrase makes the statement correct. Otherwise, write the correct WORD/PHRASE that will make the statement true. If there are two bold words/phrases in a number, write your answer for EACH of the bold words/phrases. 1.The stationary phase in the paper chromatography experiment is filter paper. 2. When spots are too concentrated, the spots will appear as a streak rather than a spot.
Waht is the composition of the reverse phase chromatography? non-polar stationary phase - non polar mobile phase polar stationary phase - non polar mobile phase polar stationary phase - polar mobile phase non- polar stationary phase - polar mobile phase
Two group of students wish to analyse caffeine content in tea samples. Group 1 performed the analysis using thin layer chromatography. Group 2 wish to conduct the analysis using analytical instrumentation. Suggest a possible analytical instrument method for Group 2.Briefly explain the procedural steps before instrumentation. List another two applications of this instrument.

Chemistry Suppose you are trying to separate a mixture of compounds using reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC). On the first run, using a mobile phase containing 40% tetrahydrofuran and 60% water, the peaks all elute between 0 and 3 min and are too close together to be quantitatively resolved. To improve the resolution of the peaks, should you increase or decrease the amount of tetrahydrofuran in the mobile phase for the next run? Incorrect. decrease increase The solvent tetrahydrofuran is less polar than water. In RPLC, a nonpolar stationary phase and a polar solvent is used for the separation. Eluent strength of the mobile phase increases as the polarity decreases. Decreasing the eluent strength of the mobile phase will result in an increase in the retention time and improved resolution of the compounds. not enough information In a separate experiment, you are trying to separate a mixture of compounds using normal-phase liquid chromatography (NPLC).
