Practical hints

The sample size should be selected so that the maximum column exchange capacity is not utilized by more than 5%. 

The cation exchanger LiChrosorb CXS has an exchange capacity of 850peqg The column is filled with 15g of gel. What is the maximum amount of radioactive NaCl sample permitted  

If a separation is to be developed, a good starting buffer strength is 50 mM. It should not be lower than 20 mM because otherwise an effective buffering is not guaranteed. The salts used should be of high purity. 

Note that effective buffering is only possible if the deviation from the value of the salt used is not larger than one pH unit. As an example, phosphate has the pXa steps 2.1, 7.2 and 12.3. Therefore it is possible to prepare buffers for HPLC in the ranges of pH 1.1-3.1 and 6.2-8.2 (pH 12.3 is much too basic). Citrate has the pXa steps 3.1, 4.7 and 5.4, acetate has pXa 4.8. (See also Section 5.4.)

The mobile phase pH is a function of the sample s acid or base strength, i.e. its value A pH of 1.5 units higher than the value of the base to be separated is advantageous in cation-exchange chromatography. This means that less than 10% of 

In capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE), the most important experimental factors controlling the separation are applied voltage, buffer pH and composition, additives, and capillary wall modifications. 

Low conductivity (to allow the use of high potentials without generating unacceptably high currents 

Mobility of buffer ions matched with that of analytes (to avoid peak distortion) 

Negligible interferences with the detection technique (low background absorbance at the chosen wavelength) 

In general, high buffer concentrations have been shown to reduce the adsorption of analytes to the capillary walls. For this reason and because of a better buffering capacity, background buffers relatively high in molarity are preferred in CZE.

If you answered 4-7 questions correctly, you need to refresh yourself on these topics. Carefully read through the lesson in this chapter for review and skill building. Pay attention to the sidebars that refer you to more in-depth practice, hints, and shortcuts. Work through the quiz at the end of the chapter to check your progress. 

When chemists compare the rates of reactions carried out under different conditions, they often compare the rates near the beginning of the reactions. What advantage(s) do you see in this practice Hint Think of slow reactions.

There is a book sold by Philip Harris Co., Nos. 144 146 Edmund St, Birmingham, Manufacturing Chemists, Bloxam s Laboratory teaching, 4s. 6d. which, I think might give valuable practical hints and I wish I had got it sooner, and I think I shall do so now. 

Dry test All mercury compounds, irrespective of their valency state, form mercury metal when heated with excess anhydrous sodium carbonate. For practical hints see Section III.5, reaction 15. 

The information on analytical techniques has been extended Mid brought up to date, particularly with the inclusion of high pressure liquid chromatography, fluorescence spectrophotometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Each chapter provides a description of the technique, practical hints on its use, and information on the appUcation of tiie technique to problems.
