Chapter 27, Problem 27.22QAP
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The average flow rate in the column is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The migration through a chromatographic column of a solute zone is made under the influence of the gas flow. On an average, all compound’s molecule spend the same amount of time in the mobile phase. During that time, the molecules move at the same speed along the column as the carrier gas.

Answer to Problem 27.22QAP

The average flow rate in the column is 31.4mL/min.

Explanation of Solution

The expression for the average flow rate is:

F=Fm((Tc+273)K(T+273)K)(PPH2OP)   ...... (I)

Here, the average flow rate in the column is F, the measured flow rate is Fm, the temperature of column is Tc, the temperature of flow meter is T, the pressure at the end of the column is P and the vapor pressure of the water is PH2O.

Substitute 25.3mL/min for Fm, 102.0°C for Tc, 21.2°C for T, 748torr for P and 18.88torr for PH2O in Equation (I).

F=(25.3mL/min)((102.0°C+273)K(21.2°C+273)K)((748torr)(18.88torr)(748torr))=(25.3mL/min)(375K294.2K)(729.12torr748torr)=31.4mL/min

Thus, the average flow rate in the column is 31.4mL/min.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The corrected retention volumes for air and the three esters is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Retention measurements could make in terms of chart or times, volumes as well as distances. If recorder speeds and flow are constant, the volumes are directly proportional to the charts and time distances.

Answer to Problem 27.22QAP

The corrected retention volumes for air is 8.6mL, for methyl acetate is 56.9mL, for methyl propionate is 119.5mL, and for n-butyrate is 227.6mL.

Explanation of Solution

The expression for the corrected retention volume is:

VR°=jtRF   ...... (II)

Here, the corrected retention volume is VR°, the compressibility factor is j and the retention time is tR.

The expression for the compressibility factor is:

j=3[(PiP)21]2[(PiP)31]   ...... (III)

Here, the inlet pressure is Pi and the outlet pressure is P.

The expression for the inlet pressure is:

Pi=P+(26.1psi)   ...... (IV)

Substitute 748torr for P in Equation (IV).

Pi=(748torr)+(26.1psi)=(748torr)+(26.1psi)(5.17torr1psi)=883torr

Substitute 883torr for Pi and 748torr for P in Equation (III).

j=3[(883torr748torr)21]2[(883torr748torr)31]=3(1.3941)2(1.6451)=1.1821.29=0.915

Substitute (VM°)air for VR°, 0.915 for j, 18.0s for tm and 31.4mL/min for F in Equation (II).

(VM°)air=(0.915)(18.0s)(31.4mL/min)=(0.915)(18.0s)(1min60s)(31.4mL/min)=8.6mL

Substitute (VR°)methylacetate for VR°, 0.915 for j, 1.98min for tm and 31.4mL/min for F in Equation (II).

(VR°)methylacetate=(0.915)(1.98min)(31.4mL/min)=(1.8117min)(31.4mL/min)=56.9mL

Substitute (VR°)methylpropionate for VR°, 0.915 for j, 4.16min for tm and 31.4mL/min for F in Equation (II).

(VR°)methylpropionate=(0.915)(4.16min)(31.4mL/min)=(3.8064min)(31.4mL/min)=119.5mL

Substitute (VR°)n-butyrate for VR°, 0.915 for j, 7.93min for tm and 31.4mL/min for F in Equation (II).

(VR°)n-butyrate=(0.915)(7.93min)(31.4mL/min)=(7.25min)(31.4mL/min)=227.6mL

Thus, the corrected retention volumes for air is 8.6mL, for methyl acetate is 56.9mL, for methyl propionate is 119.5mL, and for n-butyrate is 227.6mL.

Answer to Problem 27.22QAP

The specific retention volume for methyl acetate is 25.1mL/g, for methyl propionate is 57.7mL/g, and for n-butyrate is 113.8mL/g.

Explanation of Solution

The expression for the specific retention volume is:

VR=(VR°VM°ms)(273KT)   ...... (V)

Here, the specific retention volume is VR, the volume that is not retained on the column is VM°, the retention volume of species retained is VR° and the mass of stationary phase is ms.

Substitute (VR)methylacetate for VR, 56.9mL for VR°, 8.6mL for VM°, 1.4g for ms and 375K for T in Equation (V).

(VR)methylacetate=((56.9mL)(8.6mL)1.4g)(273K375K)=(48.3mL1.4g)(273K375K)=25.1mL/g

Substitute (VR)methylpropionate for VR, 119.5mL for VR°, 8.6mL for VM°, 1.4g for ms and 375K for T in Equation (V).

(VR)methylpropionate=((119.5mL)(8.6mL)1.4g)(273K375K)=(110.9mL1.4g)(273K375K)=57.7mL/g

Substitute (VR)n-butyrate for VR, 227.6mL for VR°, 8.6mL for VM°, 1.4g for ms and 375K for T in Equation (V).

(VR)methylpropionate=((227.6mL)(8.6mL)1.4g)(273K375K)=(219.0mL1.4g)(273K375K)=113.8mL/g

Thus, the specific retention volume for methyl acetate is 25.1mL/g, for methyl propionate is 57.7mL/g, and for n-butyrate is 113.8mL/g.

Answer to Problem 27.22QAP

The distribution constants for methyl acetate is 35.1, for methyl propionate is 80.8, and for methyl n-butyrate is 159.4.

Explanation of Solution

The expression for the distribution constant is:

K=Vsρs(Tc273K)   ...... (VI)

Here, the distribution constant is K, the stationary phase volume is Vs and the density of stationary phase is ρs.

Substitute Kmethylacetate for K, 25.1mL/g for Vs, 1.02g/mL for ρs and 375K for Tc in Equation (VI).

Kmethylacetate=(25.1mL/g)(1.02g/mL)(375K273K)=(25.1mL/g)(1.02g/mL)(1.3736)=35.1

Substitute Kmethylpropionate for K, 57.7mL/g for Vs, 1.02g/mL for ρs and 375K for Tc in Equation (VI).

Kmethylpropionate=(57.7mL/g)(1.02g/mL)(375K273K)=(57.7mL/g)(1.02g/mL)(1.3736)=80.8

Substitute Kmethylnbutyrate for K, 113.8mL/g for Vs, 1.02g/mL for ρs and 375K for Tc in Equation (VI).

Kmethylnbutyrate=(113.8mL/g)(1.02g/mL)(375K273K)=(113.8mL/g)(1.02g/mL)(1.3736)=159.4

Thus, the distribution constants for methyl acetate is 35.1, for methyl propionate is 80.8, and for methyl n-butyrate is 159.4.

Interpretation:

The corrected retention volume and retention time for methyl n-hexanoate is to be determined.

Answer to Problem 27.22QAP

The corrected retention volume and time are 1029.4mL and 35.83min.

Explanation of Solution

Consider, the value of slope is 0.3286 and line cut y axis at 0.7496.

The expression for the line is:

logtR'=(0.3286)(nc)0.7496   ...... (VII)

Here, the slope is m, the number of carbon atoms is nc.

Substitute 7 for nc in Equation (VII).

logtR'=(0.3286)(7)0.7496logtR'=1.55tR'=101.55tR'=35.53

Write the expression for the retention time.

tR=tR'+tm   ...... (VIII)

Here, the retention time is tR.

Substitute 35.53min for tR' and 0.30min for tm in Equation (VIII).

tR=(35.53min)+(0.30min)=35.83min

Substitute 0.915 for j, 35.83min for tR and 31.4mL/min for F in Equation (II).

VR°=(0.915)(35.83min)(31.4mL/min)=1029.4mL

Thus, the corrected retention volume and time are 1029.4mL and 35.83min.
