Chromatography • Chromatography • means of separating and tentatively identifying the components of a mixture.
Chromatography • Molecules that have a preference for the moving phase will slowly pull ahead and separate from those substances that prefer to remain in the stationary phase.
TLC • TLC uses a solid stationary phase usually coated onto a glass plate and a mobile liquid phase to separate the components of the mixture.
TLC • The liquid will slowly rise up the plate by capillary action • the sample to become distributed between the stationary phase and the moving liquid phase. • Most compounds are colorless • materials must be visualized by placing the plates under ultraviolet light or spraying the plate with a chemical reagent. • Rf values calculated.
Gas Chromatography • Research gas chromatography. Create a brochure individually that answers the following questions. • What is gas chromatography (GC)? • How does GC work? (Find a visual to help illustrate this) Describe using a few sentences. • What does a gas chromatograph set up look like? What are the parts? Find or draw a visual and label! • What is the written record or data from a GC look like? What is it called? Find an example and print it. • Why/how is GC used in Forensic Science?
