(a) Why is it illogical to use a thin stationary phase (0.2 碌m) in a wide-bore (0.53-mm) open tubular column?

(b) Consider a narrow-bore (0.25 mm diameter), thin-film (0.10 碌m) column with 5 000 plates per meter. Consider also a wide-bore (0.53 mm diameter), thick-film (5.0 碌m) column with 1500 plates per meter. The density of stationary phase is approximately 1.0 g/mL. What mass of stationary phase is in each column in a length equivalent to one theoretical plate? How many nanograms of analyte can be injected into each column if the mass of analyte is not to exceed 1.0% of the mass of stationary phase in one theoretical plate?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) A thin stationary phase permits rapid mass transfer of analyte between the mobile and the stationary phase. In case of a wide bore column larger diameter results in slower mass transfer of analyte between the mobile and the stationary phase. So, it is illogical to use a thin stationary phase (0.2 碌m) in a wide-bore (0.53-mm) open tubular column.

(b) In a narrow bore column, the mass of stationary phase in one theoretical plate will be 1.57脳104 pg. For a wide bore column, the mass of stationary phase in one theoretical plate will be 5.5脳106 pg. 0.16ng and 0.55 ng of analyte can be injected for narrow bore and wide bore column respectively if the mass of analyte is not to exceed 1.0% of the mass of stationary phase in one theoretical plate.

Step by step solution

Explanation regarding part (a)

(a)

van Deemter equation can be potentially used for gas chromatography. This equation for plate height can be expressed as

H=A+Bux+CuxA=MultiplepathsBux=LongitudinaldiffusionCux=Equilibriumtimeux=LinearVelocityA,B,C=Constant

A thin stationary phase permits rapid mass transfer of analyte between the mobile and the stationary phase. It reduces the equilibration time (Cux) term in the van Deemter equation. As a result, in a narrow bore column, it gives small plate height with higher resolution. In case of a wide bore column larger diameter results in slower mass transfer of analyte between the mobile and the stationary phase.

Calculation regarding part (b)

Narrow Bore Column:

Plate height

=15000m-1=200m

The area of an inside wall column

Area=dld=Columndiameterl=length

The volume will be dltwhere t is the thickness of the column.

Given,

d=250ml=200mt=0.1m

Therefore, the volume will be

=dlt=2502000.1m3=1.57104m3

Density

=1g/mL=1g/cm3=1g/104m3=1g/1012m=1pg/m3

Therefore, the mass of stationary phase in one theoretical plate will be

1.57104m31pg/m3=1.57104pg

1.0% of this mass is 0.16 ng.

Wide Bore Column:

Plate height

=11500m-1=660m

The area of an inside wall column

Area=dld=Columndiameterl=length

The volume will be dltwhere t is the thickness of the column.

Given,

d=530ml=660mt=5.0m

Therefore, the volume will be

dlt=5306605.0m3=5.5106m3

Density

=1g/mL=1g/cm3=1g/104m3=1g/1012m=1pg/m3

Therefore, the mass of stationary phase in one theoretical plate will be

5.5106m31pg/m3=5.5106pg

1.0% of this mass is 55 ng.
