Consider a chromatography experiment in which two components with retention factors k1=4.00and k2=5.00are injected into column with N=1.00×103theoretical plates. The retention time for the less-retained component is tr1=10.0min.

(a)Calculate tmandt12.Find w12(width at half height) and w (at the base) for each peak.

(b)Using graph paper , sketch the chromatogram analogous to figure 23-7,supposing that two peaks have same amplitude(height). Draw the half widths accurately.

(c)Calculate the resolution of the two peaks and compare this value with those drawn in Figure 23-10.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a)tm=2.00min,tr2=12.00min

are 1.265 min and 1.518 min.

w12(for peak1 ) and w12(for peak2) are 0.745 min and 0.894 min

(b) Resolution =1.437

Step by step solution

01

Step1: 

Finding the value of, tm,tr2 w and W12

We know that k1=tr1-tmtmor, tm=tr1k1+1

Or, tm=10.004+1=2.00min

We know that , tr2=tmK2+1Or, tr2=2.005.00+1=12min

Now N=5.55×tr2w212 Or, w12=5.55×tr2N

For w12=5.55×1021.00×103=0.745min

w12=5.55×1221.00×103=0.894min

N=16tr2w Or, w=16×tr2N

w1=16×1021.00×103=1.265min\w2=16×1221.00×103=1.518min

02

(b)Step 2 :   Sketching the graph :

03

   finding Resolution:

(c) Resolution =∆twav=t''r-t'rwav

Or, Resolution=12-10121.265+1.518 =1.437

For quantitive analysis resolution >1.5 is highly desirable.

An open tubular column is 30.01 mlong and has an inner diameter of 0.530mm. It is coated on the inside wall with a layer of stationary phase that is3.1μ³¾thick. Unretained solute passes through in 2.16min, whereas a particular solute has a retention time of 17.32min. (a) Find the linear velocity and volume flow rate. (b) Find the retention factor for the solute and the fraction of time spent in the stationary phase.(c) Find the partition coefficient, K 5 cs/cm, for this solute.

The solute in Problem 23 - 8 is initially dissolved in 80.0 mL of water. It is then extracted six times with 10.0mL portions of chloroform. Find the fraction of solute remaining in the aqueous phase.

(a) Why is it difficult to extract the complex of aluminum into an organic solvent but easy to extract the complex?

(b) If you need to bring the EDTAcomplex into the organic solvent, should you add a phase transfer agent with a hydrophobic cation or a hydrophobic anion?
