Question
Chapter 9, Problem 5Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the separation of compounds as a mixture instead of individual components should be speculated.
Concept introduction:
A separation technique used for the segregation of components of chemical mixture based on the difference between the adsorption of different components in the stationary and mobile phase is called column chromatography.
It is used for purification or segregation of compounds. It consists of two phases namely:
- Stationary phase (solid)
- Mobile phase (generally liquid)
Silica gel is commonly used as the stationary phase.

2. A chromatographic column is eluted with a solution containing a mixture of two
components, X and Y. The chemical affinity of X for the stationary phase is less than
that of Y and the chemical affinity for X for the mobile is greater than that of Y.

- One method for the quantitative determination of the concentration of constituents in a sample analyzed by gas chromatography is area normalization. Here, complete elution of all the sample constituents is necessary. The area of each peak is then measured and corrected for differences in detector response to the different eluates. This correction involves dividing the area by an empirically determined correction factor. The concentration of the analyte is found from the ratio of its corrected area to the total corrected area of all peaks. For a chromatogram containing three peaks, the relative areas were found to be 16.4, 45.2 and 30.2, in order of increasing retention time. Calculate the percentage of each compound if the relative detector responses were 0.60, 0.78 and 0.88, respectively.arrow_forwardA young researcher set out to develop a method for quantifying the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) content in a contaminated soil sample using open tubular gas chromatography.
