91Ó°ÊÓ

Electroosmotic velocities of buffered solutions are shown for a bare silica capillary and one with aminopropyl groups (silica—SiOCH2CH2CH2NH2) covalently attached to the wall. A positive sign means that flow is toward the cathode. Explain the signs and relative magnitudes of the velocities.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Negative wall - flow towards the cathode.

Positive wall - flow towards the anode.

→ the protonation of silanol and amines has an effect on the velocity.

Step by step solution

01

Define the electroosmotic velocity:

Electroosmotic flow is the bulk liquid motion that results when an externally applied electric field interacts with the net surplus of charged ions in the diffuse part of an electrical double layer.

02

Calculation for bare silica capillary:

Bare silica capillary

At pH=10

The wall of the bare silica capillary is negatively charged containing groups -Si-O groups- electroosmotic flow towards the cathode.

At pH=2.5:

The wall is almost neutral (+0.2) containing -Si-OH groups - electroosmotic flow -Si-O is barely present (few groups are present and give rise to a flow towards the cathode).

03

Calculation for aminopropyl silica capillary:

aminopropyl silica capillary

At pH =10:

The same as bare silica capillary, but with half the velocity.

At pH =2.5 :

The aminopropyl groups are protonated - electroosmotic flow towards the anode.

04

The signs and relative magnitudes of the velocities:

Negative wall - flow towards the cathode.

Positive wall - flow towards the anode.

→ the protonation of silanol and amines has an effect on the velocity.

Figure 26-24 shows the effect on resolution of increasing voltage from 28 to120kV

(a) What is the expected ratio of migration times(t120kV/t28kV)in the two experiments? Measure the migration times for peak 1 and find the observed ratio.

(b) What is the expected ratio of plates (N120kv/N28kv)in the two experiments?

(c) What is the expected ratio of bandwidths(σ120kv/σ28kv)?

(d) What is the physical reason why increasing voltage decreases bandwidth and increases resolution?

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?

The observed behavior of benzyl alcohol (C6H5CH2OH) in capillary electrophoresis is given here. Draw a graph showing the number of plates versus the electric field and explain what happens as the field increases.

Explain how neutral molecules can be separated by micellar electrokinetic chromatography. Why is this a form of chromatography? Why are micelles called a pseudostationary phase?

Material balance. If you intend to measure all the anions and cations in an unknown, one sanity check on your results is that the total positive charge should equal the total negative charge. The table lists concentrations of anions and cations measured in pond water in an undergraduate experiment and expressed in mg/mL.

Find the total concentration of negative and positive charge (mol/L) to assess the quality of the analysis. What do you conclude about this analysis?
