The oven serves to control the temperature of the column within a few tenths of a degree to conduct precise work. The oven can be operated in two manners: isothermal programming or temperature programming. In isothermal programming, the temperature of the column is held constant throughout the entire separation. The optimum column temperature for isothermal operation is about the middle point of the boiling range of the sample. However, isothermal programming works best only if the boiling point range of the sample is narrow. If a low isothermal column temperature is used with a wide boiling point range, the low boiling fractions are well resolved but the high boiling fractions are slow to elute with extensive band broadening. If the …show more content…
Temperature Programming As column temperature raised, vapor pressure analyte increases, eluted faster Raise column temperature during separation – temperature programming - separates species with wide range of polarities or vapor pressures

Column temperature
For precise work, column temperature must be controlled to within tenths of a degree. The optimum column temperature is dependant upon the boiling point of the sample. As a rule of thumb, a temperature slightly above the average boiling point of the sample results in an elution time of 2 - 30 minutes. Minimal temperatures give good resolution, but increase elution times. If a sample has a wide boiling range, then temperature programming can be useful. The column temperature is increased (either continuously or in steps) as separation proceeds.

Column Oven: Temperature in GC is controlled via a heated oven. The oven heats rapidly to give excellent thermal control. The oven is cooled using a fan and vent arrangement usually at the rear of the oven. A hanger or cage is usually included to support the GC column and to prevent it touching the oven walls as this can damage the column. The injector and detector connections are also contained in the GC oven. For Isothermal operation, the GC is held at a steady temperature during the analysis. In temperature programmed GC (pTGC) the oven temperature is increased according to the temperature program during the
For example, incubating the samples at different temperatures would create more data points to establish an optimal temperature. From the results in the experiment in this study, it is known as temperature increases, enzymatic activity increase, and vise versa. However, what can not be observed is at what point does the increase in temperature begin to denature the enzyme, above 60°C. Furthermore, assays can be preformed to determine optimal pH, as well. From Dutta’s, and his partners, experiment it shows that there is a range where the Heliodiaptomus viduus’s lactase shows the most activity, which is between 5.0 and 6.0
The procedure of the lab on day one was to get a ring stand and clamp, then put the substance in the test tube. Then put the test tube in the clamp and then get a Bunsen burner. After that put the Bunsen burner underneath the test tube to heat it. The procedure of the lab for day two was almost exactly the same, except the substances that were used were different. The
When those steps are finished, the temperature is held at 20°C. In step one, the hot start is initiated by incubating the tubes for five minutes at 95°C and adding the water. 0.4 ul Taq DNA polymerase to each tube while disallowing the tubes to cool and without taking. time to mix the reaction solution after adding the Taq polymerase.
As the components of the sample were eluted from the column they were passed over a detector which determines the quantity present and plots a peak on a chromatogram at a specific retention time.

1. Decide on a range of temperatures from 5 °C to 35 °C to be tested.
We must first begin the today’s lab by connecting the thermometer that digitally detects surrounding temperature to the Lab Pro Interface located on the computer via...
To carry out the experiment starch-agar Petri dishes are needed. Gloves must be worn to prevent contamination of the Petri dishes and so not to hinder the results.
Distillation is used to separate liquids with different boiling points. Because toluene and isopropyl acetate have different vapor and composition phases, fractional distillation was used. Isopropyl acetate’s boiling point is lower than toluene’s boiling point (89°C and 111°C), meaning that Fraction 1 was isopropyl acetate while Fraction 2 was a mixture of the two, and 3 was pure toluene. Gas chromatography was only performed on Fraction 1 and 3, and a packed column was used. Isopropyl acetate and toluene’s polarity were important because the more polar the molecule, the longer it takes to come off of the column in the GC. The number of peaks showing on the gas chromatography analysis shows how many compounds are in the sample. For example Fraction 1 had two peaks, meaning there were two compounds in the sample, while Fraction 3 only had one peak. The longer the retention time, the more polar the compound was. Fraction 3 had the longest retention time, meaning it was more polar than Fraction 1. Fraction 3 was toluene, which is a more polar compound than isopropyl acetate in Fraction 1. Gas chromatography also identifies the concentration of the compound or the size of the peaks. A tall and wide peak means that there was a lot of a compound passing over the detector in the gas
Thin layer chromatography is done by placing samples on a chromatography plate, which is then placed in a beaker into a solvent. The solvent then crawls up the plate through capillary action and takes the samples with it through intermolecular forces. The sample should then drop out of the solvent at some point, depending on the strength of the attraction to the solvent versus the strength of the attraction to the chromatography plate. More polar substances should be attracted to the chromatography plate, which is coated in silica gel, whereas less polar substances should be more attracted to the solvent. Rf values, which are the distance the solute travels from the baseline divided by the length of the solvent front, are then calculated, with the more polar substances being closer to 1. These Rf values ensure that the data is accurate and consistent, even when the solvent fronts are different
The objective of this experiment was to identify a metal based on its specific heat using calorimetry. The unknown metals specific heat was measured in two different settings, room temperature water and cold water. Using two different temperatures of water would prove that the specific heat remained constant. The heated metal was placed into the two different water temperatures during two separate trials, and then the measurements were recorded. Through the measurements taken and plugged into the equation, two specific heats were found. Taking the two specific heats and averaging them, it was then that
Once the mixture had been completely dissolved, the solution was transferred to a separatory funnel. The solution was then extracted twice using 5.0 mL of 1 M
