Chapter 23 and class notes
What is the generalized chemical structure of the most common type of GC non-polar/low-
polarity stationary phase?
Why might zeolite particles as a stationary phase be especially useful for separation of small
gaseous analytes?
Why is He generally a better carrier gas than N2 for GC? Illustrate with an approximate van
Deemter plot.
Describe the basic principles of operation of a TC (thermal conductivity) detector with a
Wheatstone bridge. (Assume you are given an unlabeled diagram.)
What carrier gas is best for a GC equipped with a TC detector and why?
Describe the basic principles of operation of a FI (flame ionization) detector. (Assume you are
given an unlabeled diagram.)
Describe the basic principles of operation of an EC (electron capture) detector. (Assume you are
given an unlabeled diagram.)
