(a) In High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), the separation method is by partition of the solute (analyte) between the mobile phase and the stationary phase. Explain how this leads to separation of analyte mixtures; (b) Describe the structure and materials use in a typical column used for HPLC. Thereby explain why high pressures have to be used in HPLC; (c) Discuss how the need for high pressures also imposes requirements on the injector;

Q. No. 5 Write functions and procedure of analysis of various volatile organic molecules by using Gas chromatography
Researchers used gas chromatography to determine the % v/v methyl salicylate in rubbing alcohol [Van Atta, R. E.; Van Atta, R. L. J. Chem. Educ. 1980, 57, 230-231]. A set of standard additions was prepared by transferring 20.00 mL of rubbing alcohol to separate 25 - mL volumetric flasks and pipeting 0.00 mL, 0.20 mL, and 0.50 mL of methyl salicylate to the flasks. All three flasks were diluted to volume using isopropanol. Analysis of the three samples gave peak heights for methyl salicylate of 57.00 mm, 88.5 mm, and 132.5 mm, respectively. Determine the % v/v methyl salicylate in the rubbing alcohol.
(c) What is the minimum distribution ratio that permits removal of 99% of a solute from 50.0 mL of water with (i) two 20.0-mL extractions with an organic solvent; (ii) four 10.0-mL extractions with the organic solvent?

1. From spinach, the chromatographic analysis will yield two major substances: (a) B-carotene (C40H56), which will separate from the spinach mixture to form a yellow band, and (b) chlorophyll A (CSSH72MGN4OS), which will separate from the mixture to form a green band. i. Describe the characteristics and draw structures of these molecules. ii. From the spectrophotometric analysis, what wavelength (Amax) would you expect ß-carotene (C40H56) to absorb? What wavelength would chlorophyll A (CssH72MgN4O5) absorb?
A method of quantitative determination of the concentration of constituentsof a sample analyzed by gas chromatography is area normalization. Thiscomplete elution of all sample constituents is required. Thearea of each peak is measured and corrected for the detector response to the diffe- renteseluatos. This correction involves dividing the area by an empiricalcorrection factorDetermined. The concen ration of the analyte is found from the ratio between itscorrected and the total corrected area of all peaks. For a chromatogram containing threerelative areas were determined as 16.4; 45,2; and 30.2, in the order ofincreased retention time. Calculate the percentage of each compound if therelative responses from the detector are 0.65, 0.73 and 0.85, respectively.
