Q

Explain the process of thin-layer chromatography

A

Put the solvent into a chromatography tank to a depth of about 1cm. Add a small amount of sample, taking care not to damage the powder on the plate. Let the solvent travel through the powder, and take the plate out before it reaches the top. Analyse the pattern of coloured spots

Q

What does gas chromatography do?

A

It separates the components of a mixture, as well as measure their amounts

17
Q

Name all the equipment used in gas chromatography

A 
Carrier gas cylinder 
Oven
Detector
Chromatogram
Flow meter
18
Q

What does the carrier gas cylinder do?

A

It supplies the mobile phase

19
Q

Where is the metal column located in during gas chromatography?

A

The oven

20
Q

What does the detector do?

A

It sends a signal to the computer as each component leaves the column, which the computer uses to create a chromatogram.
