Question 1

Question
Which of the following statements are true about chromatography? Select all that apply.
Answer
  • It separates mixtures into its distinct constituents.
  • It consists of stationary and mobile phases.
  • The solvent used is water-based.
  • Chromatography can only separate molecules based on their size.

Question
TLC stands for [blank_start]thin[blank_end] [blank_start]layer[blank_end] [blank_start]chromatography[blank_end].
Answer
  • thin
  • layer
  • chromatography

Answer
  • Amino acids
  • Fats
  • Glucose
  • Oils

Question 5

Question
The rate at which different molecules move along the stationary phase depends on...
Answer
  • Size
  • Polarity
  • Solubility
  • Electronic charge

Question 6

Question
Which of the following statements best explains how different molecules 'climb' chromatography paper at different rates?
Answer
  • Polar molecules travel faster because they don't form hydrogen bonds with the paper.
  • Polar molecules travel faster because they form hydrogen bonds with the paper.
  • Non-polar molecules travel faster because they don't form hydrogen bonds with the paper.
  • Non-polar molecules travel faster because they form hydrogen bonds with the paper.

Question 7

Question
Once a chromatography run has completed, you can identify the components in the mixture by finding their Rf values. Rf = x / y Which statements are true about this formula?
Answer
  • x is the distance travelled by the solvent
  • x is the distance travelled by the component
  • y is the distance travelled by the solvent
  • y is the distance travelled by the component

Question 8

Question
Three ways of visualising the molecular components separated during chromatography include shining [blank_start]a UV light[blank_end] over a [blank_start]TLC plate[blank_end], spraying [blank_start]ninhydrin[blank_end] on [blank_start]amino acid molecules[blank_end], or adding [blank_start]iodine crystals[blank_end].
Answer
  • a UV light
  • white light
  • different coloured lights
  • infrared light
  • TLC plate
  • gas chromatography column
  • mobile phase
  • ninhydrin
  • amino acid molecules
  • starch
  • sodium hydrogen carbonate
  • amino acid molecules
  • triglyceride molecules
  • reducing sugars
  • non-reducing sugars
  • iodine crystals
  • chlorine gas
  • alkaline solution
  • copper sulphate
