2. In chromatography, “all compounds spend the same amount of time in the mobile phase” True or false? Explain your answer. [5 marks]
3. You are investigating if a mineral water drink has been spiked with a weak organic acid drug substance (Ka = 5 x10-4 ). In order to extract the substance, you extract the aqueous sample with octanol. Calculate the distribution ratio D at pH 3.0 if the KD is 40.

2. Catecholamine levels in plasma are diagnostically important in a number of diseases including Parkinson’s and schizophrenia. Sketch out the chemistry behind the liquid-liquid extraction of catecholamines from plasma, and briefly explain the mechanisms involved. [5 marks] 3. You are investigating if a mineral water drink has been spiked with a weak organic acid drug substance (Ka = 5 x10-4 ). In order to extract the substance, you extract the aqueous sample with octanol. Calculate the distribution ratio D at...

2. If two different compounds have the same Rr value, how might they be identified using paper chromatography? 3. Why is it important to keep the spots on the paper as small as possible? 4. If the solvent pool at the bottom of the beaker touched the spots on the 1.5cm line, what would happen to the spots? How would you address this error? 5. If you were teaching a student how to do paper chromatography, what three pieces of...
in FRIEDEL-CRAFTS ACYLATION AND COLUMN CHROMATOGRAPHY lab
(2 pts) Amount of acetyl chloride used ____4______(drops) (each
drop is 0.01 mL) _____2______(equivalents) Based on the amount of
ferrocene you began the Friedel-Crafts reaction with, determine the
percent yield of acetylferrocene, diacetylferrocene, and the
percent recovery of unreacted ferrocene (show work)
react by 0.100 g of ferrocene at beginning
got 0 g of ferrocene, 0.012g of diacetylferrocene , 0.017g of
acetylferrocene
REACTION PROCEDURE: To a 5 mL conical vial, add a spin...
Exercise 2 Separation of a Mixture Based on Acid-Base Properties One purpose of this exercise is to learn how to use a separatory funnel to extract a single component away from other compounds in solution. To do so, we will apply the principles of solubility and acid-base behavior you’re seeing in class. One of the compounds is neutral in the acid-base sense. It has no ability to either donate or accept a proton from an aqueous solution, and will remain...
