The following five analytes were separated using gas chromatography (GC): Give the order of elution of these analytes using (i) A polar column. (ii) A non-polar column. Explain your reasoning in \( e a c h \) case, and give an account of the basis of separation in Gas Chromatography. Include examples of typical polar and non-polar columns used.
Expert Answer
The order of elution of the analytes on a polar column would be: 2-ethyl hexanoic acid Octanol 2,3 butanediol Decane Undecane The order of elution of the analytes on a non-polar column would be: Decane Undecane 2,3 butanediol Octanol 2-ethyl hexanoic
