Question

a Sapling Learning macmillan learning The following questions apply to separation of a solution containing pentanol (FM 88.15) and 2,3-dimethyl-2- butanol (FM 102.17). Pentanol is the internal standard (a) Separation of a standard solution containing 215 mg of pentanol and 263 mg of 2,3-dimethyl-2-butanol in 10.0 mL of solution led to a pentanol 2,3-dimethyl-2-butanol relative peak area ratio of 0.893:1.00. Calculate the response factor, F, for 2,3-dimethyl-2-butanol Number (b) Calculate the areas for pentanol and 2,3-dimethyl-2-butanol gas chromatogram peaks in an unknown For pentanol, the peak height was 25.3 mm and the width at half height was 4.0 mm. For 2,3-dimethyl-2- butanol, the peak height was 69.6 mm and the width at half-height was 2.1 mm. Assume each peak to be a Gaussian Number Pentanol mnm Number 2,3-Dimethyl-2-butanol: mnm (Scroll down for more questions.)

Explanation / Answer

WE know that

Response Factor = Peak Area / Concentration

The concentration of pentanol is 215 mg dissolved in a volume of 10 ml. This is equal to [P] = 21.5mg / mL

The concentration of 2,3dimethyl butanol is 263 mg dissolvedin a volume of 10 ml. This is equal to [B] = 26.3 mg/mL

The peak area of pentanol = 0.893 [Ap]
The peak area of 2,3dimethyl butanol= 1 [Ab]

The correspondent response factors of 2,3dimethyl butanol

RF(2,3dimethyl butanol) = Peak Area / Concentration = 1 / 26.3 = 0.038

Respons factor for internal standard = 0.893 / 21.5 = 0.0415

b) peak area = peak height X 1/2 peak width

For pentanol

Area = 25.3 X 4mm^2 = 101.2 mm^2

For 2,3dimethyl butanol)

area = 69.6 X 2.1 = 146.16 mm^2

c) We know that

Conc. a reagent in a mixture

= Peak Area reagent x (Conc. internal Standard / Peak Area Internal standard) x (1 / Relative response factor)

Relative response factor = response factor of the reagent / Response factor of internal standard

RRF = 0.038 / 0.0415 = 0.916

Concentration of 2,3dimethyl butanol = 146.16 (61.1 mM / 101.2 ) (1/ 0.916)= 96.34 mM
