GAS CHROMOTOGRAPHY- What is gas chromotography?
Separating mixtures on compounds
1 of 20
GAS CHROMOTOGRAPHY- How is the apperatus set out?
Long glass tube, packed with powdered solid material- fitted into an oven
2 of 20
GAS CHROMOTOGRAPHY- Explain stage 1 of the gas chromotography process
sample dissolved in substances- injected in
3 of 20
GAS CHROMOTOGRAPHY- Explain stage 2 of the gas chromotography process
An unreactive gas (often nitrogen) is carried through the tube
4 of 20
GAS CHROMOTOGRAPHY- Explain stage 3 of the gas chromotography process
Different substances travel through tube at different speeds, separating from each other
5 of 20
GAS CHROMOTOGRAPHY- Explain stage 4 of the gas chromotography process
Substances leave the column- as they leave they are detected by a detector
6 of 20
GAS CHROMOTOGRAPHY-What is renention time?
Time taken for substances to pass through column
7 of 20
GAS CHROMOTOGRAPHY-What does the detector do?
produces a graph- each substance is a seperate peak
8 of 20
GAS CHROMOTOGRAPHY-What does the number of peaks on the graph mean?
Number of compounds
9 of 20
GAS CHROMOTOGRAPHY-What does the position of the peaks on the graph mean?
Renention time for each compound
10 of 20
MASS SPECTROMENY- What does mass spectromeny do?
Identifies substances quickly and easily
11 of 20
MASS SPECTROMENY- When a GC and MC are combined, what does it do?
Allows seperated substances leaving column to be detected
12 of 20
MASS SPECTROMENY- What does mass spectromeny provide for gas chromotography?
provides a relative formula
13 of 20
MASS SPECTROMENY- What is a molecular ion peak?
Furthest peak to the right in a mass spectrum
14 of 20
INSTRUMENTAL ANALYSIS- WHat does it rely on?
Machines
15 of 20
INSTRUMENTAL ANALYSIS-What two things does it detect?
some elements and some compounds
16 of 20
INSTRUMENTAL ANALYSIS- Name 3 advantages of instrumental analysis
It's fast, accurate and sensitive
17 of 20
Name the 3 methods of analysing substances
Paper chromotography, Gas chromotography and mass spectromeny
18 of 20
PAPER CHROMOTOGRAPHY- What is it used for? name 3 examples
Analysing coloured substances, e.g. coloured pigments in plants and artificial colours used as food additives
19 of 20
PAPER CHROMOTOGRAPHY- How does it work?
COloured substances dissolve in liquid, then bond to paper and travel further up paper
