Retention factor = (distance moved by component) / (distance moved by solvent); measure from the middle of the dot.
1 of 7
What is retention time?
The time taken for each component to travel through the column.
2 of 7
What can retention times identify?
The components present in a sample by comparing these to retention times for known components.
3 of 7
What does the peak integration of a gas chromatogram show?
It can be used to determine the concentrations of components in the sample.
4 of 7
Can you create a calibration curve?
You should be able to; run the gas chromatogram with different standard solutions of different concentrations.
5 of 7
Do you know all the tests for functional groups?
You should know the tests for alkenes, haloalkanes, phenols, carbonyls, aldehydes, primary and secondary alcohols and aldehydes, and carboxylic acids; A2 textbook page 246.
6 of 7
What is the test for phenols?
Phenols by weak acidity (using indicator) but with no reaction with CO3 ^2-.
