Chapter 0: Q31 P (page 1)

The efficiency of a gas chromatography column is measured by a parameter called plate height (H, m m) , which is related to the gas flow rate (u, mL/min) by the van Deemter equation: H = A + B / u + Cu , where A , B , and C are constants. Prepare a spreadsheet with a graph showing values of as a function of u for u =4,6,8,10,20,20,40,50,60,70,80,90 and 10 mL/min. Use the values A = 1.65 m m , B = 25.8 m m .m L/min, and C = 0.023 6 m m.min/mL.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The spreadsheet and the graph are in step 2 and 3.

Step by step solution

01

The given equation and values

The following van Deemter equation will be used to create a spreadsheet with a graph showing the values of H as a function of u.

H = A + B / u + Cu

In this equation, A = 1.65 m m , B = 25.8 m m .m L/min, and C = 0.023 6 m m.min/mL

02

The list of values

The following H values are listed in the table below, and they are used to create a graph.

The above list is according to the values of H.

03

The graph of given equation

The graph for H = A + B / u + Cu van Deemter equation would be as follows:

The above graph is according to the value of H.

How many milliliters of 2.15% alcoholic dimethylglyoxime should be used to provide a 50.0% excess for Reaction 27-7 with 0.998 4 g of steel containing 2.07 wt% Ni? Assume that the density of the dimethylglyoxime solution is 0.790 g/mL.

The iodide (I-)content of a commercial mineral water was measured by two methods that produced wildly different results. Method A found0.23 milligrams of (I-)per litermg/Land method B found 0.009mg/L. When Mn2+ was added to the water, the I- content found by method A increased each time that moreMn2+was added, but results from method B were unchanged. Which of the Terms to Understand describes what is occurring in these measurements? Explain your answer. Which result is more reliable?

When you flip a coin, the probability of its landing on each side isin Equations 28-2 and 28-3. If you flip it times, the expected number of heads equals the expected number of tailsThe expected standard deviation for flips is. From Table 4-1, we expect thatof the results will lie withinand of the results will lie within.

(a) Find the expected standard deviation for the number of heads incoin flips.

(b) By interpolation in Table 4-1, find the value of that includesof the area of the Gaussian curve. We expect thatof the results will lie within this number of standard deviations from the mean.

(c) If you repeat thecoin flips many times, what is the expected range for the number of heads that includesof the results? (For example, your answer might be, "The rangetowill be observedof the time.")
