The elutropic series (order of polarity) for silica gel and alumina is as follows: hexane. petroleum ether is a generic name given to a mixture of pentanes, hexanes and heptanes. It does not contain any ethers of the R-O-R' structure.) < carbon tetrachloride < toluene < dichloromethane < chloroform < diethyl ether < ethyl acetate < acetone < propanol < ethanol < methanol < acetic acid < water.
In general, what is the correct order of solvents when using Column Chromatography?
What is the main purpose of running a column chromatography? Similar to TLC. column chromatography is based on analytes being partitioned between a stationary phase (not moving) and a mobile phase (moving). What is most commonly used as stationary phase in a column? Is this material polar or non-polar? In this experiment, you will use different solvents to run column chromatography separation of different pigments extracted from spinach leaves. These solvents are a mixture of acetone and hexanes. (a) What...
What physical property separates substances in column chromatography( and chromatography in general)?
4. Know the eluting power/polarity of solvents for column chromatography 5. Know what constitutes a halogenated compound vs a non-halogenated compound 6. Know the factors involved in determining the rate of an Sn1 reaction
Generally, what is the ideal Rf value of the analyte when using TLC to choose a solvent for column chromatography?
devise a way to separate alcohol from ester using column chromatography. Please describe the general procedure. A few sentences are enough.
column chromatography: (-)-carvone, (+)-limonene and (-)-dihydrocarveol In what order to you expect to collect the components from the column? Explain.
The column chromatography procedure for the separation of a polar and a non- polar compound calls for sequential elution with the following solvents: hexane, 70:30 hexane : acetone, acetone and 80:20 acetone : methanol. Why it is important to follow this solvent order?
When it comes to column chromatography, What is the purpose of irradiating azobenzene? Why does the cis-azobenzene move through the column more slowly than the trans-azobenzene?
1. What are the main differences between thin layer chromatography (TLC) and column chromatography (CC)? 2. Are CC and TLC operations conducted concurrently? Explain. 3. Name a few packing materials used in packing columns in Column Chromatography operations. 4. Explain the role of eluting solvent(s) in column chromatography procedures. 5. When performing column chromatography, which of the following compounds would you expect to elute first: Ferrocene of acetylferrocene? Explain why.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of thin-layer chromatography, adsorption column chromatography, and gas chromatography techniques? (advantages and disadvantages for each type)
