Question
Chapter 9, Problem 9.6QAP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The reason for the 30% more absorption for a solution containing 50% ethanol than the solution containing no ethanol needs to be explained, if both the solution contains the same amount of nickel.
Concept introduction:
Spectral lines are lines which help identify atoms and molecules. These are a result of absorption or emission of light in a comparatively narrower frequency range compared to the frequencies nearby.
In a defined space, the amount of a substance gives its concentration. The capacity of a substance to absorb a specific

TLC was used to compare the solubility of two compounds A and B in a solvent system (acetic acid, methanol, H2O). The distances that solvent has moved in the silica gel TLC was 12 cm. and for the compounds were 2 and 8 cm respectively. (a) Calculate the Rf values and which compound is more soluble and which one is more polar. (b) What are the factors affecting the Rf value
A student researcher performed a chromatographic separation of caffeine and aspartame. The retention time for caffeine, te, was
found to be 200.8 s with a baseline peak width, we, of 16.1 s. The retention time for aspartame, ta, was 258.7 s with a baseline
peak width, wa, of 20.6 s. The retention time for the unretained solvent methanol was 44.2 s.

You have obtained a gas chromatogram of a two component mixture of compounds A and B. The height of peak A is 3.84 cm. and the width at half height is 1 cm. The height of peak B is 3.49 cm. and the width at half height is 1.36 cm. The percentage of a component in the mixture is proportional to peak area. Estimate peak areas by multiplying height by width at half height. What was the percentage of compound B in the mixture? (Enter your answer as a number without any percent symbol or the word percent.)
