If along 15cmHPCL column has a place height of 5.0 what will be the half-width (in seconds) of a peak eluted at 10.0min? if plate height5μm,what will bew1/2?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The half-width (in seconds) of a peak eluted.

L=15cmH=5.0μm=5.0.10-tcm=15cm5.0.10-4cm=3.1043.104and2.05-5s

Step by step solution

01

definition of Theoretical plate

Theoretical plate height is a measure of a column's separating efficiency, similar to the number of separating plates in a liquid distillation column.

Given,

L=15cmH=5.0μm=5.0.10-tcm

First we find the number of theoretical plates, N:

H=LNN=LHN=LN=15cm5.0.10-4cm=3.104tr=10.0min=600s

02

Divide the value

Use this and the equation below to find and calculate the half-width in seconds:

N=5.55Trw1/22w1/2=5.552-N2tr=2.05.10-5sHence,3.104and2.05.10-5s

(a) List ways in which the resolution between two closely spaced peaks might be changed.

(b) After optimization of an isocratic elution with several solvents, the resolution of two peaks is 1.2How might you improve the resolution without changing solvents or the kind of stationary phase?

Chromatography–mass spectrometry. HPLC separation of

enantiomers of the drug Ritalin on a chiral stationary phase was

shown in Problem 25-13.

(a) Detection is by atmospheric pressure chemical ionization with

selected reaction monitoring of the m/z 23484 transitions. Explain

how this detection works and propose structures for m/z 234 and m/z 84.

(b) For quantitative analysis, the internal standardH32-Ritalin with

a deuterated methyl group was added. Deuterated enantiomers have

the same retention times as unlabelled enantiomers. Which selected

reaction monitoring transition should be monitored to produce a

chromatogram of the internal standard in which unlabelled Ritalin

will be invisible?

Question: Explain how to use a gradient for the first run to decide whether isocratic or gradient elution would be more appropriate.

Question: Literature search problem: Human serum albumin (HSA) is an important protein ingredient in cryopreservation media used in procedures such as in vitro fertilization.

(b) What alternative methods could be used for analysis of human serum albumin?

(c) What type of analytical column is used for the separation?

(d) How long was the gradient? How long were the additional wash and equilibration steps within the gradient method?
