Kovat’s Retention Index is the logarithmic scale that relates the retention time tmr of an analyte to those of linear alkanes in a column containing the stationary phase. According to homologous series method (eg. linear alkanes) elutes in the increasing order of their molecular masses, for instance lowest molecular weight, melting point, boiling point compound elutes first due to the intermolecular forces in the organic compound.
The expression relating number of carbons of the analyte and its retention time is related as:-
where n is the smaller analogue carbon series while N larger homologue carbon series.
Using references from the literature explain what is the Homologous Series Method and how it is...

Exercise 3: Determining the time-out in CPG The best-known method of estimating the dead time tM consists in measuring the retention time of an unretained compound (commonly methane in GC). Another method is proposed here using the relation used in establishing retention indices, namely that in a homologous series of organic compounds one can write, if the temperature of the column does not vary: log (tr-t = an + b t represents the retention time of the compound with n...
Please support your discussion with at least 2 references from scholarly literature, and comment to two of your peers. Citations for supporting references in APA must be provided in all discussions. What are the differences in the NP role from the time of its inception and the current role we are familiar with today? What do you think has contributed to these changes in the NP role?

All Questions are in regards to Gas Chromatography 1. Explain what injection splitting is and why it is necessary to use in this and all of our experiments. 2. What are adjusted and corrected retention data? (See text book and other references if needed) 3. Do you expect peak shapes to be the same for all the standards on column A? Assume column A is non polar such as polymethylsiloxane. Explain 4. What is and what is the advantage of...
GC Experimental Data Analysis I) One method for quantitative determination of the concentration of constituents in a sample analyzed by gas chromatography is the area normalization method. In this method, complete elution of all of the sample constituents is necessary. The area of each peak is then measured and corrected for differences in detector response to the different eluates. This correction is accomplished by dividing the area by an empirically determined correction factor. The concentration of the analyte is found...
