Refers to the group of techniques used to separate complex mixtures on the basis of different physical interactions between the individual compounds and the stationary phase of the system
Chromatography
Basic components in any chromatographic technique
Mobile phase (gas or liquid; carries sample) Stationary phase (solid or liquid; where mobile phase flows) Column holding the stationary phase Eluate
What is measured in simple chromatography? ***
Distances of the separated components are compared relative to the baseline or origin set from the start
SP and MP in simple chromatography
SP: paper MP: solvent
The farthest point the solvent reached
Solvent front
A ratio of the distance travelled by the component to the distance travelled by the solvent
Retention factor (distance of component/distance of solvent)
Relationship of rf and solubility
Directly proportional
What is implied when rf value= 1
The solute has no affinity for the stationary phase and travels with the solvent front
Types of chromatography
Paper Thin layer Gas Etc
It is a variant of column chrom and almost same as paper but glass coated by thin layer of film (alumina, paper, silica gel, cellulose) is used as sorbent and positioned at an angle
Thin layer
Gas chrom is used to separate what?
Mixtures of compounds that are volatile or can be made volatile
Applications of gas chromatography
Analysis of neutral and acidic drugs Urine toxicological tests Identify various types of alcohols
Process of gas chrom
→ Solution is vaporized, transferred to column of gas → Compounds separate according to volatility and polarity → Gas passes through a detector where it is identified → Chromatogram is generated (based on detector intensity over time)
Retention time in gas chrom is based on
Analytes that elute
Gases often used in gas liquid chrom
Helium, nitrogen or hydrogen
T or F: gases of higher weights are nearer to the detector within the column and moving more rapidly while lower weights are closer to the sample injector
False, high-sample injector, low- detector in column, moves rapidly
Compounds with _____ boiling point will move slowly in gas chrom
Higher
Molecules which are more abundant in stationary or liquid phase (less volatile) will be ______________, those with more abundance in the gas phase (more volatile) will be ______________
Molecules which are more abundant in STATIONARY OR LIQUID phase (LESS VOLATILE) will be nearer to the sample injector, those with more abundance in the GAS phase (more volatile) will be further into the column
An analytical technique that ionizes chemical species and sorts the ions based on their mass-to-charge ratio
Mass spectrometry
How are the said chemical species ionized?
• Ionization is changed by removing or charging electrons in a chemical species
Differentiate mass spectrum and mass spectrometer
A mass spectrum measures the masses within a sample; A mass spectrometer produces charged particles (ion) from the chemical substances that are to be analyzed, which then uses electric and magnetic fields to measure the mass (‘weight’) of the charged particles
Atoms of the same element with differing numbers of neutron and different masses.
Isotopes
Atomic number is the______ Mass number is the ________
Protons; total # of protons and neutrons
Tells the mass number and percent abundance for isotopes wherein charged plates create an environment of high kinetic energy to charge the entering particles
Mass spectrometer
