Adsorption chromatography
Adsorption chromatography utilizes the principle of differing in strength of adsorption of gas or liquid solutes (also known as mobile phase) onto column material (also known as stationary phase) by non-covalent bonds such as hydrogen or hydrophobic interactions. Separation is achieved by a series of adsorption and desorption of mobile phase solutes. Those with lower affinity and adsorption to stationary phase move faster and eluted out first while those with greater adsorption affinity move or travel slower and get eluted out last.
Adsorption chromatography is used mostly to separate low molecular compounds such as organic molecules after organic synthesis that will bind to stationary phase with varying strength of intermolecular force.
Gas-Liquid chromatography
Gas-Liquid Chromatography utilizes the principle of the difference in solubility of the components of gas mixture (vapourized sample) in the non-volatile liquid phase. Volatile sample to be analyzed is vaporized and blown through heated column by inert gas carrier such as helium. The more sol...
Every 5 minutes, a small amount of mixture was dissolved in acetone (0.5 mL) and was spotted onto a thin layer chromatography (TLC) plate, which contained an eluent mixture of ethyl acetate (2 mL) and hexanes (8 mL). The bezaldehyde disappearance was monitored under an ultraviolet (UV) light. Water (10 mL) was added after the reaction was complete, and vacuum filtrated with a Buchner funnel. Cold ethanol (5 mL) was added drop-by-drop to the dried solid and stirred at room temperature for about 10 minutes. Then, the solution was removed from the stirrer and place in an ice bath until recrystallization. The recrystallized product was dried under vacuum filtration and the 0.057 g (0.22 mmol, 43%) product was analyzed via FTIR and 1H NMR
The basic principle of the spectrophotometeric technique is the measurement of interaction between energy and electrons of the substance. Spectrophotometric technique is an analytical method used for estimating concentration of metal ion in liquid solution. One of the most magnificent effects of complex formation is the change of spectral properties. The reason for light absorption by complexes are as follows.
The objective of this experiment was to perform extraction. This is a separation and purification technique, based on different solubility of compounds in immiscible solvent mixtures. Extraction is conducted by shaking the solution with the solvent, until two layers are formed. One layer can then be separated from the other. If the separation does not happen in one try, multiple attempts may be needed.
Therefore, the gas chromatography could not be performed to determine its composition. The ratio of the three samples obtained, were not all accurate. The first sample, of pure hexane should have had a ratio close to 100% hexane to 0% heptane. The second ratio should have been close to 50% hexane to 50% heptane and the third should have been the reverse of the first sample, with 0% hexane to 100% heptane. The boiling point of hexane is around 65°C and the boiling point of Heptane is 100°C. The first sample’s error could have occurred due to the late extraction of the sample. When the boiling point was reached, the extraction of the sample from the distillation vial should have occurred immediately, not doing so caused some of the vapors from heptane to be included into the first sample. This could be prevented next time by lowering the heat of the Variac transformer, which would have allowed for the heating of the compound to be slower than what it was
Cu (aq) + 2NO3 (aq) + 2Na+ (aq) + 2OH- (aq) → Cu(OH)2 (s) + 2Na+ (aq) + 2NO3(aq)
Separations are important techniques in chemistry that are used to separate various components of a mixture. They are carried out by mixing two immiscible liquids containing certain solutes together in a separatory funnel, allowing them to separate, then extracting the distinct layers that form. The ratio of the concentration of solute present in the upper layer to the concentration in the lower layer is called the partition coefficient. The efficiency of a separation is described by this partition coefficient. If the coefficients for the two layers are largely different, then the separation can be carried out in a single step. If they aren’t, a more complex process is necessary.1,2 Countercurrent chromatography is a technique used carry out separations in these kinds of cases. It uses a continuous liquid-liquid partitioning process to streamline the usual extraction procedure.
The distance of the initial extract line to a pigment band was divided by the distance of the marked solvent front to the initial extract line both were measured in cm. The RF (relative to front) was calculated for each pigment band, indicating the travelled distance between the pigment and the front (solvent line) on the chromatography
...bromebutane. Unfortunately, our group was only able to obtain the chromatograph for 2-bromobutane and the rest of the three chromatographs were provided by our T.A. Some possible reasons why the chromatographs for 2-butanol, 1-butanol, and 1-bromobutane were unable to be displayed properly is due to the malfunction of the syringes. If the syringe is not air-tight, the gaseous products can escape before being inserted into the injection port. In addition, the collection tube may have had a minor gas escape from the rubber septum, resulting in less concentrated gaseous products being inserted into the injection port. A possible solution is sealing the collection tube with parafilm. All in all, the provided data chromatographs and the rendered chromatograph by the 2-bromobutane in the lab session did match the expected results for the distribution of gaseous products.
Chromatography has been developed over the past century and has an important contribution in many areas of modern science. However the main original work of M.S.Tswett was published in a book Chromatographic Adsorption Analysis.
Column Chromatography is an adsorption type of chromatography. The separation depends on the adsorption to the stationary phase. Here, the stationary phase is a solid material and the mobile phase is the liquid. It is used for purifying liquids and solids. In this technique, the stationary bed is embedded within the tube. The mixture of mobile phase and the sample that has to be separated are entered through the top of the column. The components in the mixture move with different rates. The substances with lower adsorption towards the stationary phase travel quickly and eluted out first while the substances with greater adsorption travel slowly and eluted out at the end.

Analyzing soil compounds can be measured by the levels of organic molecules including n-alkanes, fatty alcohols and fatty acids, which are all found in the waxy outer layer of plant matter (Geddes, 2008). It basically states that compounds can remain in the soil for thousands of years, which explains that each area being tested has its unique organic profile.
Stationary phase is of extreme importance in an HPLC analysis, as the chemical nature of the same and its compatibility with the analyte of interest is extremely significant for efficient separation. The most commonly used stationary phase is silica packed column which acts as a adsorbent. Each component in the sample interacts with these silica particles and gets eluted out in different time intervals. These silica columns may be of C14 or C18 type depending on the component of interest and also the columns themselves come in various dimensions each with a specific purpose of analysis.

An alternative approach of affinity chromatography with extremely significant results is dye-ligand affinity chromatography. In this type of affinity chromatography, dyes compose the group of ligands than are employed in the technique (Hage et al., 2012).
