Alkenes from Alcohols: Analysis of a Mixture by Gas Chromatography Aim: To analyze a mixture of alkenes by gas chromatography. Introduction: In this lab‚ we specifically used elimination reaction; however we only used the E1 reaction. In the presence of strong acids‚ alcohols protonate to form a good leaving group‚ namely water. Upon loss of a proton to a good leaving group‚ an introduction of unsaturation (a double bond) can be preformed. According to Wikipedia‚ an E2 reaction is typically

Column and Thin Layer Chromatography Beverly Abstract: Plant pigments were separated and concentrated from a crude spinach extract through the use of column chromatography and an eluatropic series of hexanes‚ hexane/acetone‚ and methanol. The pigments were analyzed using thin layer chromatography with a 30% ethyl acetate/hexane developing solvent. Introduction: Chromatography is a technique used to separate a mixture of two or more components based on

Discussion Using the Thin Layer Chromatography experiment‚ caffeine was found to be the most polar due to the fact that it stayed closer to the stationary phase. Caffeine contains four amine groups that are extremely polar as a result of the hydrogen bond and amide functional group. Acetaminophen was found to be the second most polar analgesic drug tested. Acetaminophen contains a polar alcohol group on one side and amide group on the other but also includes non-polar functional groups that consisted

Separation techniques LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY ‘THE ART OF SEPARATION’ CHROMATOGRAPHY – AN INTRODUCTION Chromatography is a technique through which a mixture of chemical components are separated‚ identified and determined accurately. This technique while provides a way for analytical separations‚ also useful for preparative techniques by which pure compounds can be obtained.

Making TLC Plates from Bulk TLC Silica Gels Many TLC users prefer to use pre-coated TLC plates‚ but others because of their special needs‚ or because they need special additives or a special thickness‚ coat their own TLC plates. This paper is a quick review of what is needed for the process. Initial instructions for plate coating: If reproducible plates are needed‚ then the user should invest in a coating device from Camag or Desaga (addresses below). The devices consist of a tray that holds

Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Instructor: Dr. Hüseyin BOZKURT High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is one mode of chromatography‚ the most widely used analytical technique. Chromatographic processes can be defined as separation techniques involving mass-transfer between stationary and mobile phases. Present day liquid chromatography that generally utilizes very small packing particles and a relatively high pressure is referred to as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Question 1 1.1 Silica gel chromatography: This is known as the stationary phase in column chromatography. Firstly‚ the tapered exit of the column is sealed using porous material. This porous material serves as support for the packing material‚ and prevents it from exiting the pipe. Thereafter‚ silica gel is compacted into the glass pipe to make the separating column. In finishing preparation of the column‚ the solvent which is used as the mobile phase is then passed through the dry column. Then the

Expt. 8.1 Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) Analysis of Analgesics Krista Jinks CH 211L Section F 10/27/14 I. Abstract: The objective of this experiment was to analyze analgesic tablets by TLC to determine what analgesics they contain. The analgesics that could be in the tablets included ibuprofen‚ acetaminophen‚ aspirin‚ and caffeine. Through the use of TLC‚ unknown substance #62 was found to be Bayer Aspirin because it only contained aspirin. II. Introduction: 1. Briefly describe
