Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In gas chromatography, what is the stationary phase typically made of?
  • Step 1: Understand that gas chromatography is a technique used to separate different components in a mixture.
  • Step 2: Identify that in this technique, there are two phases: the mobile phase (gas) and the stationary phase.
  • Step 3: Know that the stationary phase is the part that does not move and is crucial for separating the components.
  • Step 4: Learn that the stationary phase is typically made of a liquid that is coated onto a solid support material.
  • Step 5: Recognize that this liquid helps to interact with the gas components, allowing for separation based on their different properties.
