What is the ideal TLC R; for column chromatography application? Why is it advisable to run a TLC analysis prior to a column chromatographic separation? A student performed a TLC analysis and she observed that her sample was separated into 4 components. However, it is visible as a streak and not as small spot. How can she improve the experiment?

Briefly explain the process of ion-exchange chromatography.
Two solutes have an unadjusted retention of γ = 1.06. How many plates are required to give a resolution of 1.5? Of 3.0? While we did not discuss this in class, the number of plates can also be expressed as N = L/H where H is plate height and L is the length of the entire column. If the plate height is 0.5 mm in gas chromatography, how long must the column be for a resolution of 1.5? If γ = 1.06 and H = 3 microns in liquid chromatography, what length of column in cm gives a resolution of 1.5?
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?
a. Say you are trying to separate two compounds by column chromatography. You run a column and collect the eluent in five fractions. You analyze each fraction by TLC on the same plate (shown below). Based on the TLC plate, how effective was your separation? Consider the purity of each fraction. - - - - - - - - ----| 1 2 3 4 5
Explain how Thin Layer Chromatography allows for the separation of the components of a mixture on a TLC plate? Please include these words: equilibrium, stationary and mobile phase, nonpolar and polar analytes, affinitity...which analytes (polar/nonpolar) have greater affinity for stationary or mobile phase?
The write-up says “A C18-silica column is used in this experiment, a 0.46 x 15 cm column with 5-µm particles. Equilibrate the column with 20 empty column volumes of 0.010 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.2) at a flow rate of 1.2 mL/min before beginning chromatography.” Show the calculation for how much mobile phase you would use (volume) and how long it will take to equilibrate the column.
The following data are for a GLC column: L= 35.5 cm, flow rate = 0.303 mL/min A chromatogram of a mixture of the following compounds provide the following data: (min) (min) Air 0.9 | Benzene 5.0 0.71 Toluene 7.9 0.82 Xylene 8.4 1.16 Calculate: a. The number of plates from each peak. b. The mean for N. C. The plate height H. From the data above, calculate the resolution for d. Benzene and toluene. e. Toluene and xylene. F. Benzene and xylene. g. The length of column required to achieve an average resolution of 4.50.
enumerate the advantage of TLC methods of chromatography over column and paper 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?
What is the main difference between reverse phase HPLC and standard ion-exchange or gel filtration chromatography?
