Suppose I were doing column chromatography with a column that could be stopped (it has a stopcock). How would my separation be affected if I started my column chromatography, and allowed my compounds to travel three-quarters down the column…but then I decided to wait a week to complete the separation?

You are carrying out an experiment by analysing alcoholic drinks by gas chromatography. Why is Gas chromatography the best technique used for this analysis? Why is Carbowax a suitable stationary phase for this analysis? What gases are used and what is their purpose and source?
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?

(vi) Complete the following statementComponent A spends ___ times as much time on the stationary phase as in the mobile phase;component B spends ___ times as much time on the stationary phase as in the mobile phase.
a) What would you see if you ran a Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) on a mixture of the three solids shown below using silica gel as the stationary phase and ethyl acetate/hexanes as the mobile phase? Whichsolid would have the highest Rf and which would have the lowest Rf? Explain b) Would changing the mobile phase (from part a) and increasing thepolarity by introducing small amount of methanol to the mobile phase change the order ofRf of the above 3 compounds?
