clothing for nylon and for Kevlar proactive clothing am I missing anything?


Nope, that's what it says in the spec! :smile:
Any hard questions anyone? I'm confused on where it'll be difficult

what should I know about degradeable polymers?

Yeah, I should've been more specific haha!


:tongue:
Do we need to know it though?
It's not in the spec..?
How do we predict the rention time for alchols and alkanes and esters, any help??

what is difference between amine and amide?

an amine is an NH2 group and amide is the bond formed when a carboxylic acid ad amine under go a condensation reaction
why do alcohols have a shorter retention time than alkenes

so basically bond between amino acids

esters will have similar retention times as they are similar compounds, alkane will have the longest Rt as is i the most soluable in the stationary phase and the alcohol will have the shortest Rt as it is the least soluble :smile:

I thought alcohols are more soluble due to the present of the -OH group, so can form Hyndrogen bonds with water?

no they could be formed between a carboxylic acid and a amine e.g
CH3CH2NH2 + CH3COOH --> CH3CONHCH2CH3 + H2O

what is the purpose of having stationary and mobile phase

the stationary phase in GC is an alkane with a high BP hence an alkane is more soluable in it than an alcohol

ohh right I see thanks the bond between amino acids is a peptide bond right?

It's in the textbook though. I reckon it's handy to know!

a bit of an ambiguous question, but i think its just simply, stationary phase 'holds the particles' and mobile phase 'sweeps it ' as far as it can.
