You are now the chemist responsible for describing the efficiency of a newly produced GC column that is 25 meters long. You do this by injecting an aliquot of an octadecane standard into the column and observing its resultant chromatographic output. What type of chromatography are you performing in this experiment? (What would you assume the polarity of the mobile and stationary phases are in this efficiency experiment? Why? (s) You find that the retention time for the standard is 8.22 minutes and the width at half height is 0.047 minutes. The chromatographic peak shape is Guassian. Calculate the number of theoretical plates per length (m) of column in this column. (

Write a brief introduction about ion chromatography including: types of columns, the mechanism of separation and the application
Two commonly used chromatography methods in labs are Nickel and streptavidin resin based colums. Explain which type of chromatography-ion exchange, size-exclusion, or affinity-these are, as well as their seperation mechanisms at a molecular level.
Select wether the following statements are True or False: Two compounds that are separated on a 10 cm column have a resolution equal to 1.5. If all conditions remain identical, if the length of the column is doubled, the resolution will increase. An example of a stationary phase support used in strong anion exchange would be a quarternary ammonium-functionalized polymer. In normal phase chromatography, a more polar compound will have a higher partition coefficient than a compound that is less polar. In gas chromatography, compound with higher boiling points generally (but not necessarily) elute later than compounds with lower boiling points. In a chromatographic separation, a compound with a capacity factor equal to 1 must spend an equal amount of time in the mobile phase as it does in the stationary phase.
