Question
Chapter 6, Problem 6.5PAE
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: Why the fluorescence emitted in XRF is at lower energies than the X-rays used to initiate the process has to be explained.
Concept introduction:
- X-ray fluorescence (XRF) is an analysis technique which is based on the principle that when atoms are excited by an energy source, they emit characteristic X-ray photons.
- X-rays are energetic enough to remove the electrons held tightly in the inner orbitals of the atoms.
- Fluorescence is a phenomenon which involves the absorption of a radiation of specific energy and re-emission of a radiation usually of lower energy.
- The emitted X-ray has its energy equal to the energy difference between the orbital it jumps from and the orbital it jumps to.

- Recent advancements in liquid chromatography include the development of ultrahigh pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) and an increased use of capillary columns that had previously only been used with gas chromatography. Both of these advances have made the development of portable LC systems possible. For example, Axcend Corp. makes a portable system that uses a capillary column with an internal diameter of 150-μm-that is packed with 1.7-um stationary phase particles. In contrast, a traditional LC column has a 4.6 mm internal diameter and utilizes 5-um stationary phase particles. a) Explain one advantage that is afforded by the use of a capillary column in liquid chromatographic separation. Explain one disadvantage of capillary columns. b) Explain how the use of smaller stationary phase particles can improve the resolution of a separation.

This risk is minimized with the use of low molecular weight heparins (LMWH), therefore it is desirable to separate LMWH from higher molecular weight heparins. The method of choice to do this is molecular exclusion chromatography. Below is a chromatogram from a molecular exclusion chromatographic run. Peaks ranging from A to J are clearly distinguishable. The heparin mixture that was analyzed had anywhere from 6 to 30 repeat units of monomer (where the heparin with 30 repeat units would be roughly five times the size of the heparin with six repeat units). a.
