#1
Front (Question)

Used to separate mixtures of compounds and identify an unknown.

Back (Answer)

Chromatography

#2
Front (Question)

Exploits the differences in solubility and adsorption

Back (Answer)

Chromatography

#3
Front (Question)

CHROMATOGRAPHY A name/name of the phase for the porous material used in chromatography.

Back (Answer)

Adsorbent or Stationary Phase

#4
Front (Question)

CHROMATOGRAPHY A name/name of the phase for the solvent that moves the mixture through the adsorbent.

Back (Answer)

Eluent or Mobile Phase

#5
Front (Question)

CHROMATOGRAPHY Uses a solid stationary phase and a liquid mobile phase, wherein separation is governed by the surface adsorption phenomena.

Back (Answer)

Adsorption Chromatography

#6
Front (Question)

Refers to the ability of a substance to “stick” to a surface.

Back (Answer)

Adsorption

#7
Front (Question)

ADSORPTION CHROMATOGRAPHY Molecules of interest which are getting adsorbed on the adsorbent.

Back (Answer)

Adsorbate

#8
Front (Question)

ADSORPTION CHROMATOGRAPHY The extent of adsorption of a single component depends on which 3 factors?

Back (Answer)

• Polarity of the Molecule • Activity of the Adsorbent • Polarity of the Liquid Mobile Phase

#9
Front (Question)

CHROMATOGRAPHY Uses a liquid stationary phase supported on the surface of a solid and a liquid or gas mobile phase which is insoluble in the stationary phase.

Back (Answer)

Partition Chromatography

#10
Front (Question)

CHROMATOGRAPHY This type of chromatography is governed by differences in the solubility of the sample in the stationary and mobile phase.

Back (Answer)

Partition Chromatography

#11
Front (Question)

PARTITION CHROMATOGRAPHY Separation is based on _______ ________ between two liquid phases.

Back (Answer)

Solute Partitioning

#12
Front (Question)

CHROMATOGRAPHY A type of solid-liquid adsorption chromatography that uses a thin layer of adsorbent supported on a flat surface as the solid phase.

Back (Answer)

Thin Layer Chromatography

#13
Front (Question)

THIN LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY What are the 2 possible adsorbents found on the flat surface of a piece of glass or paper used as the solid/stationary phase?

Back (Answer)

• Alumina • Silica Gel

#14
Front (Question)

THIN LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY A polar adsorbent that can hydrogen bond.

Back (Answer)

Silica Gel

#15
Front (Question)

TRUE or FALSE | THIN LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY Polar components of the mixture will interact less with the silica gel and move faster up the TLC Plate.

Back (Answer)

FALSE. Polar components will interact more, and move less quickly.

#16
Front (Question)

TRUE or FALSE | THIN LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY Non-polar compounds will move faster and migrate further up the TLC Plate.

Back (Answer)

TRUE

#17
Front (Question)

THIN LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY Provide at least 3 (or all) of the 5 purposes of Thin Layer Chromatography.

Back (Answer)

• Identify compounds/unknown mixtures • Detect intermediates in reactions • Determine the progress of a reaction • Determine the number of components in a mixture • Evaluate the efficiency of purification processes

#18
Front (Question)

CHROMATOGRAPHY Technique for separating dissolved chemical substances by taking advantage of their different rates of migration across sheets of paper.

Back (Answer)

Paper Chromatography

#19
Front (Question)

CHROMATOGRAPHY Used to separate and identify amino acids in a mixture.

Back (Answer)

Paper Chromatography

#20
Front (Question)

PAPER CHROMATOGRAPHY Made of highly purified cellulose that absorbs and retains water (hydrophilic), serving as the stationary phase.

Back (Answer)

Filter Paper

#21
