Chapter 26: Q32P (page 748)

d)Li+ has lower mobility than Na+. Explain why lithium phosphate can be used at higher electric field strength than sodium phosphate to generate the same current. What is the advantage of higher field strength for this separation?

Short Answer

Expert verified

d) The advantage of higher field strength for this separation is that it can cause the reduction in the migration time and the analysis wouldn't take so long.

Step by step solution

01

Define electric field.

It is a force on the charged particles in the field either attracting or repeling each other.

02

Explanation.

Considering that lower conductivity = higher electric field requirement in order to generate the same current, high field strength would cause the reduction in the migration time and the analysis wouldn't take so long.

(a) How many moles of analyte are present in a60.0cm×25μmsolution that occupies 1.0% of the length of a60.0cm×25μmcapillary?(b) What voltage is required to inject this many moles into a capillary in 4.0 s if the sample has 1/10 of the conductivity of background electrolyte,μmp=3.0×10-8m2/(V×s) and the sample concentration is10.0μM?

What is the effect on injection time if you decrease the applied voltage by a factor of 2?

To obtain the best separation of two weak acids in capillary electrophoresis, it makes sense to use the pH at which their charge difference is greatest. Prepare a spreadsheet to examine the charges of malonic and phthalic acid as a function of pH. At what pH is the difference greatest?

(a) Suppose that the reservoir in Figure 26-7 contains 1.5 L of 2.0 M K2PO4. For how many hours can the reservoir provide 20mM KOH at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min if 75% consumption ofin the reservoir is feasible?

(b) What starting and ending current would be required to produce a gradient from 5.0 mM KOH to 0.10 M KOH at 1.0 mL/min flow rate?

Injection in some homebuilt capillary electrophoresis instruments is performed by raising the sample vial to create a siphon. The pressure exerted by a column of water of heightiswhereis the density of water and gis the acceleration of gravity (9.8m/s2). To what height would you need to raise the sample vial to create the necessary pressure to load the sample in 4.0 s? Is it possible to raise the inlet of this column to this height? How could you obtain the desired pressure?
