I reckon there will be a big combined techniques question at the end. Hopefully there is :smile:

If its more soluble in the stationary phase it has a longer time as its harder for the mobile phase to carry it through the column.
It depends on what the greater solubility is in, if its more soluble in the mobile phase retention time is shorter.

thanks could you explain for both tlc and gas
is tlc always adsorption?
in tlc if its more soluble/adsorpable(?) in stationary phase will rf value be greater, same with gas chromotography retention time greater

Is it 1?

why do you have blue and red? do they mean separate dont get why they are coloured


Lol I just randomly chose this molecule from google images - I don't know why they are coloured (probably to show the distinct functional groups.

that video is amazing but how does he know how big to make the peaks when he draws them? Thanks.

They're just relative, the peak with 3 protons in the environment will be bigger than the peak with 2 protons in the environment. I don't think the examiners will be that picky though.

Biodegradable - breakdown doesn't emit harmful gases.
Made form plants so carbon neutral/environmentally friendly.

How many marks is it?

I assume you mean Jan 13? Its been posted many times, check the last few pages, it'll be in an attachment.

yeah my bad!! thanks

Lets look at the carbon with the NH2 group sticking out of it. The groups coming out are -NH2, -H, -CH2CH2CHOH and -CH2CH2CHOH. Same can be said for the carbon with OH sticking out but swap the OH with NH2. So those 2 carbons are not chiral

It's just a question from the spec that we're supposed to know.
Just did Jan 13 - scored 85 and in Jan I just scraped a C. I don't know whether to be crazy happy or crazy confused.

Oh dammit, I'm used to more complex molecules where the things on either side of the chain are completely different. Thanks
