Explain how slinization reduces tailing of chromatographic peaks.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Silanization creates hydroxyl groups that can form strong hydrogen bonds.

Step by step solution

01

of 2

We will explain how slinization can reduce chromatographic peak tailing in this task.

02

of 2

- the process of applying alkoxysilane molecules to a surface.

- By blocking the silanol groups with nonpolar trimethylsilyl groups, this technique reduces tailing.

- It's called end-capping because silanization can cap hydroxyl groups that can create strong hydrogen bonds, which reduces chromatographic peak tailing.

The theoretical limit for extracting solute Sfrom Phase1(volumeV1)into phase2 (volumeV2)is attained by dividing V2into an infinite number of infinitesimally small portions and conducting an infinite number of extractions. With a partition coefficient, K=[S]2/[S]1the limiting fraction of solute remaining in phase 1is2qlimit=e-(V2/V1)K(V1=V2=50mLandK=2). Let volume V2be divided intoequal portions to conduct extractions. Find the fraction of S extracted into phase 2 for n = 1,2, and 10extractions. How many portions are required to attain 95%of the theoretical limit?
