Study Notes
Analytical Chemistry Beyond Traditional Areas
- Analytical chemistry has become essential in various fields beyond traditional chemistry, such as medical sciences (diagnostics), biochemistry, food sciences, and environmental sciences.
Chemometrics
- Chemometrics is a science that helps find the best method to solve an analytical problem by considering three directions: methodology, minimum sampling plan, and data treatment and interpretation of results.
Separation Methods: Chromatography
- The invention of chromatography began with the use of filter paper to partially separate substances in solution.
- The basic principle of chromatography is based on the concentration equilibrium of the components of interest between two immiscible phases.
- The ratio of the molecules fixed upon the stationary phase to those present in the mobile phase is the same as the ratio of the times spent in each phase for a single molecule.
Retention Factor (Capacity)
- The retention factor (k) is accessible from the chromatogram, where k = tS / tM.
- The retention time of a compound (tR) is the sum of the times spent in the mobile phase (tM) and the stationary phase (tS).
Separation Factor (Selectivity)
- The separation factor (α) enables the comparison of two adjacent peaks in the same chromatogram.
- It is used to evaluate the separation of two peaks in a chromatogram.
