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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The total concentration of negative and positive charge (mol/L) is as follows:

Total cation charge: 0.00202M

Total anion charge: -0.00159M

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the concentration by using equation:

c(species;mol/L)=-valuefromspreadsheetmolar-mass¯(of)anion/cation×10-6/10-3c(totalconcentration)=∑(species;mol/L)

02

Calculation of values

From the above equation we conclude that

Total cation charge: 0.00202M

Total anion charge: -0.00159M

03

Analysis

From this we can conclude that some concentrations can be inaccurate, or some ionic species were not detected.

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?

Consider the separation of inorganic and organic anions in Figure.

(a) What is the probable charge (Xn-)of pyruvate (peak 10), 2-oxovalerate(peak 16), and maleate (peak 28)? (Hint: Look at the ions around the peaks in question.)

(b) Iodide (peak 44) is a-1ion. Explain its strong retention.

(a) How many moles of analyte are present in a60.0cm×25μ³¾solution that occupies 1.0% of the length of a60.0cm×25μ³¾capillary?(b) What voltage is required to inject this many moles into a capillary in 4.0 s if the sample has 1/10 of the conductivity of background electrolyte,μmp=3.0×10-8m2/(V×s) and the sample concentration is10.0μ²Ñ?

Figure 26-23 shows the separation of substituted benzoates. There is a peak of unknown identity at 86.0 seconds. (a) Is the unknown a cation, neutral, or an anion? (b) Find the apparent mobility and electrophoretic mobility of the unknown peak.

The system in Figure 26-7 can be adapted to produce the strong acid eluent methane sulfonic acid(CH3SO3-H+). For this purpose, the polarity of the electrodes is reversed and the reservoir containsNH4+CH3SO3-. The barrier membrane and the resin bed at the bottom of the figure must both be anion-exchangers loaded withCH3SO3-.Draw this system and write the chemistry that occurs in each part.
