(a)
Interpretation:
The reason for fluorene to elute first from the column in the experiment mentioned in the question needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The method of separation of components of the mixture is done by column chromatography techniques. This method is used to isolate the large number of components. The movement of solvent molecules in the thin layer chromatography takes place from bottom to top but in the column chromatography, the movement of mobile phase takes place from top to bottom in the column.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reason of changing the solvent in the middle of the column procedureneeds to be explained.

Complete the tablearrow_forwardWhat is paper chromatography please include the importance of using itarrow_forwardYou 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?arrow_forward
- What are the different parts of Flash Column Chromatography? Please answer at your own words.arrow_forwardPreparing a Thin Layer Chromatography experiment there are some common mistakes. Explain what happens in this situation: Sample spots too bigarrow_forwardWhat is the purpose of adding two drops of acetic acid in thin layer chromatography of plant pigment? What would be the effect of the following errors in chromatographic work? - a) The solvent level in the developing chamber is higher than the spotted sample. - b) Too much sample is applied to the paper. - c) The paper is allowed to remain in the chamber after the solvent front has reached the top of the plate.arrow_forward
- A student properly sets up a column chromatography experiment. Although the mixture is soluble in the mobile phase, the sample appears "stuck" at the top of the column and will not elute regardless of how much solvent is applied. What could be the cause of this problem and what could the student do to try and achieve a successful separation?arrow_forwardWhat would be the effect of the following errors in chromatographic work? (Diferent from the answers that already given here ) a.The solvent level in the developing chamber or beaker is higher than the spotted sample b.Too much sample is applied to the paper or plate c.Sample spots are too close to each other d.The paper or plate is allowed to remain in the chamber after the solvent front has reached the top of the paper or platearrow_forward1) Which of the following is a most appropriate reason to perform column chromatography over paperchromatography?a. The sample is a mixture of strictly polar particlesb. The sample is a mixture of strictly nonpolar particlesc. The goal is to separate and recover the parts of the mixtured. The densities of the component parts of the mixture differarrow_forward
- explain what a response ratio is in Gas Chromatography and why it might be needed to quantify compounds in a mixture?arrow_forward1. What would be the effect of the following errors in chromatographic work? a) The solvent level in the developing chamber is higher than the spotted sample. b) Too much sample is applied to the paper. c) The paper is allowed to remain in the chamber after the solvent front has reached the top of the plate.arrow_forward1. In thin layer chromatography (TLC), why do you need to use a pencil in marking the spots, origin, and solvent front and not a marker? 2. Why is it necessary to mark the solvent front immediately? 3. Why do you need to ensure that the loading spot is above the solvent level in paper chromatography? 4. Why do different compounds travel different distances on the piece of paper?arrow_forward
