Quiz 1. What percent (%) of analyte A (with K = 30.0) is extracted to octanol when 100 mL of an aqueous solution is extracted with two 50.0 mL aliquots of octanol? Show your work. a. 0.391% b. 0.104% c. 99.609% d. 99.896% 2. In chromatography, the peak area of an analyte is an indication of: a. the concentration of an analyte. b. the time it takes for an analyte to pass through the column. c. the reactivity of the analyte. d. none of the above.
Quiz 3. The term that is used to describe how well two peaks in a chromatogram are separated is: a. resolution. b. plate height. c. capacity. d. diffusion. 4. Diffusion results in: a. shorter average retention times. b. longer average retention times. c. narrower peak widths. d. wider peak widths.
