Chapter 26: Q15 P (page 747)

(a) The suppressor in Figure 26-9 enables low parts-per-billion conductivity detection for anions such asCl-andBr-,.but very poor detection limits for anions such asCN-and borate. Explain why.

(b) Mixtures of sodium carbonate and bicarbonate can be used as eluent in suppressed-ion anion chromatography. Detection limits are poorer than with hydroxide eluent due to higher background conductivity. Explain why

Short Answer

Expert verified

The explanations to the above questions are:

(a). The detection limits for anions such asand borate are poor.

(b).The detection limits are poorer than with hydroxide eluent.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of Dissociation

  • Dissociation is a process in which, usually ionic compounds, breakdown into constituents such as ions.
  • Acids, in this case HCl, HBr and HCN, are formed by suppression. Both HCl and HBr are strong acids, which means that they fully dissociate, whereas weak acids, HCN and salt borate in this case, barely dissociate.

Therefore, detection limits for anions such asCN- and borate are poor.

02

Partial Dissociation in the above case

b. Mixtures of bicarbonate and sodium carbonate such as eluent in suppressed-ion anion chromatography generates a suppression productH2CO3which partially dissociates.

Therefore, detection limits are poorer than with hydroxide eluent.

A polystyrene resin molecular exclusion HPLC column has a diameter of 7.8 mm and a length of 30 cm. The solid portions of the gel particles occupy 20% of the volume, the pores occupy 40%, and the volume between particles occupies 40%. (a) At what volume would totally excluded molecules be expected to emerge? (b) At what volume would the smallest molecules be expected? (c) A mixture of polyethylene glycols of various molecular masses is eluted between 23 and 27 ml. What does this imply about the retention mechanism for these solutes on the column?

Fluorescent derivatives of amino acids separated by capillary zone electrophoresis had migration times with the following order: arginine (fastest) , phenylalanine , asparagine , serine , glycine(slowest). Explain why arginine has the shortest migration time.

State the effects of increasing cross-linking on an ion-exchange column.

Electrophoretic mobility of the anionic form A2 of the weak acid phenol (HA=C6H5OH)and its derivatives are:

(a) Explain the trend in electrophoretic mobility from phenol to 4-methylphenol to 4-ethylphenol.

(b) Predict the electrophoretic mobility of the analytes at pH 10.0. Explain why the predicted mobility differs from mA2. (c) The electroosmotic mobility is toward the cathode and greater in magnitude than the analyte electrophoretic mobilities. In what order will the peaks appear in the electropherogram at pH 10.0?

To obtain the best separation of two weak acids in capillary electrophoresis, it makes sense to use the pH at which their charge difference is greatest. Prepare a spreadsheet to examine the charges of malonic and phthalic acid as a function of pH. At what pH is the difference greatest?
