Step by step solution

01

Step1: Explain the separation of neutral molecules by micellar electrokinetic chromatography.

When there are no micelles, neutral molecules are all washed through the capillary (electroosmotic velocity). Negatively charged micelles move upstream (electrophoretic velocity), and it takes them more time to reach the detector than the neutral molecules.
Neutral molecule would spend some time being free in a solution and also dissolved in the micelles. Therefore, the net velocity would be reduced by the electroosmotic velocity.

02

Micelles as a pseudo stationary phase.

Micellar electrokinetic chromatography is a form of chromatography because in this case the micelles behave like a stationary phase because their concentration is uniform all way through the capillary.

  • Therefore, micelles are also called a pseudostationary phase

State three different methods to reduce electroosmotic flow. Why does the direction of electroosmotic flow change when a silica capillary is washed with a cationic surfactant?

(a) The interstitial volume, V0, in Figure 26-15 is the volume at which the curves rise vertically at the left. FindV0for the 25-nm-pore-size column. To the nearest order of magnitude, what is the smallest molecular mass of molecules excluded from this column? (b) What is the molecular mass of molecules eluted at 9.7 mL from the 12.5-nm column? (c)Vmis the volume at which the curves drop vertically at the right. Find the largest molecular mass that can freely enter the 45-nm pores.

In ion-exclusion chromatography, ions are separated from nonelectrolytes by an ion-exchange column. Nonelectrolytes penetrate the stationary phase, whereas ions of the same charge as the resin are repelled by the fixed charges. Because co-ions have access to less of the column volume, electrolytes are eluted before nonelectrolytes. The chromatogram shows the separation of trichloroacetic acid (TCA,pKa=-0.5), dichloroacetic acid (DCA,), and monochloroacetic acid (MCA,pKa=2.86) by passage through a cation-exchange resin eluted with 0.01 M HCl. Explain why the three acids are separated and why they emerge in the order shown.

The water-soluble vitamins niacinamide (a neutral com- pound), riboflavin (a neutral compound), niacin (an anion), and thiamine (a cation) were separated by micellar electrokinetic chromatography in 15mMborate buffer (pH8.0)with 50mMsodium dodecyl sulphate. The migration times were niacinamide (8.1min), riboflavin (13.0min), niacin (14.3min), and thiamine. What would the order have been in the absence of sodium dodecyl sulphate? Which compound is most soluble in the micelles?

26-B. Vanadyl sulfate VOSO4, FM 163.00), as supplied commercially, is contaminated withH2SO4(FM98.08)andH2OA solution was prepared by dissolving 0.2447g of impureVO2+in 50.0 mL of water. Spectrophotometric analysis indicated that the concentration of the blueion was 0.0243M. A 5.00-mL sample was passed through a cation-exchange column loaded withH+. WhenVO2+from the 5.00-mL sample became bound to the column, thereleased required 13.03mL of 0.02274M NaOH for titration. Find the weight percent of each componentVOSO4,H2SO4andH2O) in the vanadyl sulfate.
