You are going to use column chromatography to separate a mixture of four dyes: 4-phenylazophenol, Scarlet-R, Sudan II, 4-phenylazoanisole.
a. Which compound would you expect to elute from the column first and which one last? Explain.
b. What solvent system will be used to elute these compounds from the column?

Expert Solution

In traditional column chromatography, the compounds which have polar groups in their structures will have more affinity towards stationary phase (for example silica gel) and these compounds elute last in the column chromatography.

Compounds which are not having polar groups will not have any interactions with the stationary phase and these compounds elute first from the column.

chemist performed the reaction shown below. He then wanted to separate the mixture using column chromatography. In his protocol he used silica as the stationary phase and a mixture of hexanes/ethyl acetate (75:25). Benzene -----> (HNO3/H2SO4) --> Nitrobenzene, Dinitrobenzene Trinitrobenzene 1. Assuming the reaction did not go to completion and starting material is present in addition to the three product, which fraction would contain which compound? Explain your answer. (4 pts) 2. What would be the consequence of changing the...

In order to separate the two dyes bound the column a solution is needed with a substance that has higher affinity for the column than the dyes. Isopropyl alcohol is such a substance. If a solution of water with 70% isopropyl alcohol is applied all the purple dye elutes (comes off) the column and the dyes do not separate. In fact this is how students clean the column before reuse of the column. Read your protocol and write down the...

A continuous fractionating column operating at atmospheric pressure, is to be designed to separate a mixture containing 40% carbon disulfide (CS2 ) and 60% Carbon tetra chloride (CCl4 ) into an overhead product containing 95% w.w CS2 and 97% CCl4 waste. (All weight percent). Complete the material balance around the column? All results should be in mole and mole percent (Not in weight percent). 1. Draw a process flowchart 2. Write balances around the column based on CS2 and CCl4....

A student loaded a mixture onto a small flash chromatography column in 1 mL of ethyl acetate, then proceeded to elute with hexanes/ethyl acetate 10:1. He/she found that all of the mixture came off in the first 3 fractions, with no separation. What technical mistake did the student make?

1 A) When making the decision to use column chromatography as a separation method you must consider the sample size as well as well as its chromatographic behavior (ability to be separated using an appropriate stationary and mobile phase). How does increasing the diameter of your column affect the separation of compounds? How does increasing the column length affect the separation of the compounds
