____ a method of separating mixtures into their pure components ✔Ans - Chromatography chromatography: a method of _____ ✔Ans - separating mixtures into their pure component Chromatography separates mixtures because the ____ between the various components of the mixture and the stationary phase are different ✔Ans - intermolecular attractions Chromatography separates mixtures because the intermolecular interactions between the ____ ✔Ans - various components of the mixture and the stationary phase are different Chromatography is a method of separation using a ___ and a ____ ✔Ans - stationary phase; mobile phase separation occurs as the mobile phase ____ the stationary phase ✔Ans - passes over the mobile phase can be ___ or ___ ✔Ans - liquid; gas the stationary phase can be ___ or ___ ✔Ans - solid; liquid Chromatography-Basic Principle: same basic principle as TLC but now ____ of pressure (_____) to ___ compounds ✔Ans - use gravity; medium to high; elute Chromatography is both a ____ and ____ method ✔Ans - qualitative; quantitative Chromatography is used for _____ the course of a reaction ✔Ans - monitoring Chromatography is used for monitoring ____ ✔Ans - the course of a reaction
3 types of chromatography used for monitoring the course of a reaction ✔Ans - thin layer chromatography; gas chromatography; high performance liquid chromatography what does TLC stand for ✔Ans - thin layer chromatography what does GC stand for ✔Ans - gas chromatography what does HPLC stand for ✔Ans - high performance liquid chromatography chromatography is used for _____ the components of a reaction ✔Ans - isolating what methods of chromatography are used for isolating the components of a reaction ✔Ans - column chromatography; prep HPLC; Prep TLC Chromatography is both a qualitative and quantitative method used for ___, ___ and ___ ✔Ans - 1) monitoring the course of a reaction
Order of Elution: polar compounds are strongly retained on the polar stationary phase and therefore are ____ from the ___ filled with ____ ✔Ans - eluted; chromatographic columns; polar stationary phase Order of Elution: _____ are strongly retained on _____ and therefore are eluted late from the chromatographic column filled with nonpolar (so called ___) phase ✔Ans - nonpolar compounds; nonpolar stationary phases; reversed nonpolar compounds are strongly retained on nonpolar stationary phases and therefore eluted late from the chromatographic column filled with _____ ✔Ans - nonpolar (so called reversed) phase Draw column chromatography where A is more polar than B. ✔Ans - Draw thin layer chromatography where A is more polar than B ✔Ans - (Mobil phase moves upwards) If A is more polar than B. ___ will elute later from a column with polar stationary phase in column chromatography and will _____ with a polar stationary phase (having a lower ____) ✔Ans - A; stay at the origin of the thin layer chromatography plate; Rf what does Rf stand for ✔Ans - retention factor if something has a higher retention factor then in mobile phase it sill ___ ✔Ans
1st: not polar enough 2nd: satisfactory 3rd: too polar ✔Ans - Which of these solvents is satisfactory? See next page for question Rf(compound 1)=22/65=0. Rf(compound 2)=50/65=0.77 ✔Ans - What is Rf compound 1? What is Rf compound 2? _____ spots are colored ✔Ans - visualized colorless spots require ✔Ans - I2 vapor; various oxidizing stains such as KMnO4, MoO3, fluorescent indicator in stationary phase (visualized with UV light), special spray reagents What does it mean when Rf=1 ✔Ans - spots travel with solvent front Rf=0 what does it mean ✔Ans - spot doesn't move off baseline, undesirable range of Rf values ✔Ans - Rf from 0 to 1
In reverse-phase chromatogrpahy ____ interacts strongly with greasy compounds containing lots of saturated and unsaturated _____ ✔Ans - C18 backbone; hydrocarbon functionalities R(CH2)nCh3 and other hydrocarbon groups are very ____ functional groups and thus stick to the _____ ,resulting in a Rf in reverse phase chromatography ✔Ans - nonpolar; nonpolar stationary phase; Rf In reverse phase chromatography the ____ moves faster, has a____ retention time, travels ___ and has a Rf ✔Ans - polar compound; shorter; farther; higher adsorption works because of ____ ✔Ans - electrostatic attraction partitioning applies to ___ and ____ chromatography ✔Ans - liquid-liquid; gas- liquid ____ applies to liquid-liquid and gas-liquid chromatography ✔Ans - partitioning in ____ compounds distribute between the two immiscible liquid phases ✔Ans - paritioning Solubility differences cause ___ ✔Ans - separation _____ cause separation ✔Ans - solubility separation The value ___represents the distribution coefficient or equilibrium of a solute A between the ____ ✔Ans - Kp; the two systems Kp=A1/A2 where A1 is amount of A in phase 1 and A 2 is amount of A in phase 2 bond dipoles depend on ___, ___ and ___ ✔Ans - bond length; charge separation; electronegativity difference a molecular dipole moment is the ____ ✔Ans - vector sum of the bond dipole moments
