A chromatogram with ideal Gaussian bands hastr=9minand
w1/2=2min.

(a) How many theoretical plates are present?

(b) Find the plate height if the column is 10cm long.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution is

a)N=112b)H=0.089cm

Step by step solution

01

of 3

We have a chromatogram with perfect Gaussian bands of tr=9minand w1/2=2minin this task.

Because we have w1/2here, we used the half-width formula instead of Equation 23-30.

02

of 3

a) Here we will find the number of theoretical plates present on a column:

N=5.55tr2w1/22N=5.55×9min22min2N=112

Because we haveW1/2 here, we used the half-width formula instead of Equation 23-30

03

of 3

a)If the column is long, we will compute the plate height as follows:

H=LNH=10cm112=0.089cm

EC Extra column band broadening

A solute with partition co-efficient of 4.0 is extracted from 10 mL of phase 1 into phase 2.

(a) What volume of phase 2 is needed to extract 99% of the solute in one extraction?

(b) What is the total volume of solvent 2 needed to remove 99% of the solute in three equal extractions?

An open tubular column has an inner diameter of 207μ³¾and the thickness of the stationary phase on the inner wall is 0.50μ³¾. Unretained solute passes through in 63s and a particular solute emerges in 433s . Find the partition coefficient for this solute and find the fraction of time spent in the stationary phase.

When performing liquid-liquid extraction, it is common practice to shake the separatory funnel to disperse one phase into the other.

(a) Does shaking the separatory funnel change the partition coefficient?

(b) Explain the purpose of shaking the funnel.

(a) Write the meaning of the retention factor,k, in terms of time spent by solute in each phase. (b) Write an expression in terms of kfor the fraction of time spent by a solute molecule in the mobile phase. (c) The retention ratio in chromatography is defined as R=timeforsolventtimeforsolutetopassthroughcolumn=tmtrShow that is related to the retention factor by the equation R=1/k+1
