Questions and Answers

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

  • Gas stationary chromatography (GStC)
  • Gas vapor chromatography (GVC)
  • Gas liquid chromatography (GLC)
  • Gas solid chromatography (GSC) (correct)

What is the affinity of solutes in gas solid chromatography (GSC) towards?

  • Evaporation from the column
  • Interaction with the carrier gas
  • Adsorption onto the stationary phase (correct)
  • Dissolution in the mobile phase

What is the function of the mobile phase in gas chromatography?

  • To separate the components of the sample
  • To move through the column carrying the sample components (correct)
  • To adsorb onto the stationary phase
  • To interact with the stationary phase
