Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The suitable liquid stationary phase for the separation of ethanol and water should be identified.

Concept introduction:

Gas chromatography is efficiently used for the compounds that have high vapor pressures which allow them to pass through a GC column.

A gas chromatography does not identify compounds if unknown samples are loaded into the column. GC is one of type of partition chromatography, where the sample that has to be analyzed get adsorbed on the stationary phase.

The stationary phase is formed by high boiling nonvolatile liquid, usually a polymer. An inert gas like helium or nitrogen is utilized to form mobile phase. In GC, no interaction of compound with mobile phase occurs, unlike LC and TLC. The inert gas that makes the mobile phase carries the compound down the column when it is in vapor state. The compounds present in the mixture divide themselves between the gas phase and the liquid phase in the column in an equilibrium.

The components of gas-liquid chromatography are as follows:

  • High-pressure pure carrier gas source
  • Flow controller
  • Heated injection port
  • Column and column oven
  • Detector
  • Recording device or data station

Calculation of the volume of 1.25 M NaOH (aq.) required to extract 1.0 gram of 2-naphthol. Use 20% mole excess of NaOH (i.e. use 1.2 mol of NaOH for every 1 mol of 2-naphthol).
1. (a) In the experiment carried out to determine the degree of association of benzoic acid in benzene (C6H6), the cooling curves of pure benzene and benzoic acid solution prepared by dissolving 0.358 g benzoic acid in 20 mL of benzene were obtained by using Beckmann thermometer, calibrated before the experiment. The cooling curves are given in the figure below. Calculate the degree of association of benzoic acid in benzene for the given solution. Ky= 5.055 K kg.mol-¹, dbenzene- 0.876 g.cm³, MBenzoic acid=122.12 g.mol-¹ T(°C) 2.88 2.38 Benzene Solution t(min)
