Hello people.
I'm having trouble finding out any information regarding a question I have been given. Please help.
In a sample that contains; acetophenone, nitrobenzene, benzene, and toluene, which type of chromatography would give the best separation between either; high performance liquid chromatography, and gas chromatography?
Thank you in advanced.
With GC you would could be able to get quite a bit of separation between those compounds with Benzene being very early and Acetophenone eluting very late if you choose the correct column and oven ramp.
Being as it is a class project I will point you in a good direction short of the final answer
Check through the Chromatograms listed on the Restek site, they would have examples for both GC and HPLC with many different column types of each category and you should be able to find a good answer there.
