Question

Use triangulation to calculate the area for peak A and peak B in the GC chromatogram below in order to answer questions a - e. a.) Identify peak A and B as either toluene (B.P. = 110.6°C) or cyclohexane (B.P. = 80.7°C) b.) Calculate the area for each peak. (Show your work) c.) Calculate the % of A and % of B. (Show your work) d.) What is the ratio of A to B in the sample? (Show your work) e.) Which compound has the longer retention time? Why? h = 112 mm w = 19 mm h = 78 mm w = 17 mm Air peak

Step 1

Since toluene has a higher boiling point (110.68°C) than cyclohexane (80.7°C), it will have a longer retention time in the GC chromatogram. Therefore, peak A is toluene and peak B is cyclohexane. Show more…
