Answer #1

In reverse phase HPLC column, the stationary phase is nonpolar. Between, benzyl alcohol and benzoic acid, benzyl alcohol is less polar as compared to benzoic acid. Less polar benzyl alcohol is thus going to have more attractive intermolecular interaction with the stationary phase as compared to benzoic acid. Hence, benzoic acid will elute first when eluted with water/acetonitrile mixture adjusted to pH 3 with acetic acid . Therefore, benzoic acid is expected have a shorter retention time.

A few basic gas chromatography questions: In general, how would you determine which of several peaks in a chromatogram obtained for a mouthwash sample might correspond to ethanol? (Is your suggested method 100% reliable?) How would you use that peak to determine how much ethanol is present in the mouthwash? In general, will an increase in operating temperature cause a given peak to have a longer or a shorter retention time? Why? In general, will a decrease in mobile phase...

a. If you were to have a mixture of benzoic acid and 2-naphthol (both two acidic components and neither neutral component), which one (or maybe both, or neither) would be extracted into flask 1 (sodium bicarbonate), and which into flask 2 (sodium hydroxide)? Explain briefly why. b. If you were to have a mixture of benzoic acid and 2-naphthol (the two acidic components and neither neutral component) and perform the extractions using the bases in the wrong order, which one...
