Get started for free(a) A particular solution in a particular capillary has an electroosmotic mobility of and 8.1 . How long will it take a neutral solute to travel 52 cm from the injector to the detector if 27 kV is applied across the 62-cm-long capillary tube at pH 2? At pH 12?(b) An analyte anion has an electrophoretic mobility of How long will it take to reach the detector at pH 2?At pH 12?
Injection in some homebuilt capillary electrophoresis instruments is performed by raising the sample vial to create a siphon. The pressure exerted by a column of water of heightiswhereis the density of water and gis the acceleration of gravity (). To what height would you need to raise the sample vial to create the necessary pressure to load the sample in 4.0 s? Is it possible to raise the inlet of this column to this height? How could you obtain the desired pressure?
Low iron concentration (as low as 0.02nM) in the open ocean limits phytoplankton growth. Preconcentration is required to determine such low concentrations. Tracefrom a large volume of seawater is concentrated onto achelating resin column. The column is then rinsed with 10mLof 1.5M high-purity water and eluted withofhigh-purity.
(a) For each sample, seawater is passed through the column for 17hours at . How much is the concentration of in the 10mLof eluate increased by this preconcentration procedure?
(b) What is the concentration of in the seawater when 57 nm is found in the nitric acid eluate?
(c) Reagent-grade concentrated nitric acid is 15.7 M and contains iron. What would be the apparent concentration of Fe (nM) in a seawater blank if reagent-grade acid were used to prepare the 1.5M eluent?
In the separation of proteins by hydrophobic interaction chromatography, why does eluent strength increase with decreasing salt concentration in the aqueous eluent?
Explain how neutral molecules can be separated by micellar electrokinetic chromatography. Why is this a form of chromatography? Why are micelles called a pseudostationary phase?
