Abstract

This NANSLO lab activity is self-contained and can be used in second semester general chemistry and survey of chemistry courses. In this activity, a mixture of four volatile organic compounds is used to illustrate separation and shows how experimental conditions can affect separation based on polarity. The lab activity includes background information which defines polarity, electronegativity, polarity of a bond, and intermolecular forces of attraction. It then discusses what chromatography does to compounds and particles. The lab activity includes pre-lab questions and lab exercises.
