Experiment 7 TAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Early fractions are more or less cyclohexane-rich | More |
| Late fractions are more or less toluene-rich | More |
| Fractional distillation gives ____ | Purer fractions than simple distillation |
| What does the x-axis of GC chromatogram show | Retention time (Rt) |
| What does the y-axis of GC chromatogram show | Detector response (signal intensity) |
| Each compound produces ____ peak(s) | One |
| Area under the peak is proportional to ____ | Number of moles of that compound |
| What is used to determine the response factor | Equimolar mixture |
| Which compound is always the first peak | Cyclohexane |
| What is used to match each compound's retention time | Pure cyclohexane and toluene chromatograms |
| What determines composition | Peak area -> not height |
| What does the equimolar sample do | Establishes calibration and confirms which peak is which |
| Why does fractional distillation achieve higher purity | It has repeated vaporization-condensation cycles instead of just one |
