Questions and Answers

What is the main purpose of gas chromatography?

To combine volatile substances in a gaseous mixture

To analyze non-volatile substances

To separate volatile substances in a gaseous mixture (correct)

To create a gaseous mixture from volatile substances

Which type of gas chromatography is most useful for the separation and analysis of gases like CH4 and CO2?

Gas liquid chromatography (GLC)

Study Notes

Gas Chromatography

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

Types of Gas Chromatography

Gas-solid chromatography is most useful for the separation and analysis of gases like CH4 and CO2.

Stationary Phase

In gas-solid chromatography, the stationary phase is a solid adsorbent that retains the sample components, allowing for separation based on their affinity for the adsorbent.

Mobile Phase

In gas-liquid chromatography, the mobile phase is a carrier gas that flows through the column and carries the sample components.

Separation Process

As the carrier gas flows through the column in gas chromatography, the sample components separate based on their boiling points, polarity, and affinity for the stationary phase.
The components exit the column at different times, allowing for identification and quantification.
