  • Problem Set Two F'09-Solution
    CHEMISTRY 465 PROBLEM SET TWO Fall 2010 Name date 1. Skoog 26-2: The general elution problem arises whenever chromatograms are obtained on samples that contain species with widely different distribution constants. When conditions are such that good separations of the more stongly retained species are realized, lack of resolution among the weakly held species is observed. Conversely when conditions are chosen that give satisfactory separations of the weakly retained compounds, severe band broadening and long retention times are encountered for the strongly bound species. The general elution problem is often solved in liquid chromatography by gradient elution and in gas chromatography by temperature programming 2. Skoog 26-6: Variables that affect the selectivity factor α include the composition of the mobile phase, the column temperature, the composition of the stationary phase, and chemical interactions between the stationary phase and one of the solutes being separated 3. Skoog 26-8: The number of plates in a column can be determined by measuring the retention time tR 2 and the width of a peak at its base W. The number of plates N is then N = 16(tR/W) 4. Skoog 26-10: Longitudinal diffusion is much more important in GC that in LC because gaseous diffusion coefficients are orders of magnitude larger than liquid values. Longitudinal diffusion is a large contribution to H at low flow rates in GC. The initial decreases in H in plots of plate height vs. flow rate are thus largely the result of longitudinal diffusion 5. Skoog 26-11: Gradient elution is a method of performing liquid chromatography in which the composition of the mobile phase is change continuously or in steps in order to optimize separations.

These results are representative of studies concerning solar system objects exposed to cosmic rays. In the Kuiper Belt, region of Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs), acetone, N2 and other small molecules were detected and may be present on icy surfaces. Bombardment by cosmic rays triggers chemical reactions leading to synthesis of larger molecules. In this work, destruction cross sections of acetone and nitrogen molecules in solid phase are determined from a sequence of infrared spectra obtained at increasing ion beam fluence. The results are analyzed and compared with those of previous experiments performed with pure acetone.

Los based on the Kohn-Sham version of the density functional theory, métodos teóricos usados están basados en la versión de Kohn-Sham considering three exchange-correlation functionals of different types: dentro de la teoría de funcionales de la densidad (TFD), se consideran PBE, TPSS and B3LYP. The results obtained using these methods tres funcionales de intercambio y correlación de diferente tipo: PBE, were compared to those obtained by the many-body perturbation the- TPSS y B3LYP.
