Questions and Answers

In chromatography, what is the function of the mobile phase?

  • To remain stationary and allow the components to migrate at different rates
  • To pass over the stationary phase and interact with the components of the mixture (correct)
  • To attract the components of the mixture based on their affinities
  • To separate the components of the mixture based on their attractive forces
  • What determines the migration rate of different compounds in chromatography?

  • Their boiling points
  • Their affinities with the stationary phase (correct)
  • Their molecular weights
  • Their solubility in the mobile phase
  • Why does a substance with stronger attractive forces with the stationary phase migrate more slowly in chromatography?

  • Because it has weaker attractive forces with the stationary phase
  • Because it has higher solubility in the mobile phase
  • Because it has stronger attractive forces with the stationary phase (correct)
  • Because it has a lower molecular weight

    Study Notes

    Chromatography Fundamentals

    • The mobile phase in chromatography serves as a carrier for the sample, transporting it through the stationary phase to separate and identify the components.

    Migration Rate of Compounds

    • The migration rate of different compounds in chromatography is determined by their affinity for the stationary phase and the mobile phase, as well as their molecular size and shape.

    Attractive Forces and Migration

    • A substance with stronger attractive forces with the stationary phase migrates more slowly in chromatography because it interacts more strongly with the stationary phase, resulting in a slower migration rate.

    Primary Purpose of Chromatography

    • The primary purpose of chromatography is to separate, identify, and quantify the components of a mixture.

    Role of the Stationary Phase

    • The stationary phase in chromatography acts as a selective barrier, retaining certain components of the mixture based on their interactions with the stationary phase, allowing for separation and identification.
