Gas chromatography (GC) is a chromatography technique where the separation of individual components (analytes) from a sample relies on their differing distribution between a mobile and stationary phase. The mobile phase carries the analytes through the stationary phase. In GC‚ it’s an inert gas (usually helium or nitrogen). The gas must be inert‚ so it won’t react with the sample to give a false reading. The stationary phase is a substance fixed in place to which the sample adsorbs because

The book that has had the most influence over my life was written by a professional body builder‚ a six time Mr. Olympian‚ Dorian Yates called Blood and Guts. My dad passed away at 39 years old due to heart issues and I told myself right then that was never going to be me. I grew up playing sports‚ but so did my dad so I knew I needed to do more to make sure I was around to be an old man. I heard about this book when I was looking up nutritional information so I ended up buying it. It is a very

Operation of both systems was satisfactory. The unit is being used to demonstrate the technology for potential users (mostly farm owners). Key

A selfish smuggler still has love and righteous. A cold blood killer was once an innocent child and also has kind heart deep inside him. Those are all good stories we learned.

The Bhopal disaster‚ also referred to as the Bhopal gas tragedy‚ was a gas leak incident in India‚ considered the world’s worst industrial disaster.[1] It occurred on the night of 2–3 December 1984 at the Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) pesticide plant in Bhopal‚ Madhya Pradesh. Over 500‚000 people were exposed tomethyl isocyanate gas and other chemicals. The toxic substance made its way in and around the shantytowns located near the plant.[2] Estimates vary on the death toll. The official immediate

surveys‚ weather studies‚ gas analyses and research of the atmospheres of other planets. They are usually made of glass or plastic‚ and while most are scored for measurement‚ some can measure changes digitally. The single-tube manometer measures only the pressure of a liquid‚ since there is no alternate place to compare gases. A U-shaped manometer essentially pits two different gas pressures against one another‚ and measures the strength of the captured gas. The free-flowing gas is usually air at the

Data and Conclusions: The purpose of this experiment was to learn how to use distillation and gas chromatography to separate and identify different compounds from a given mixture. There are several kinds of distillation methods. However‚ the method that we used in this experiment was fractional distillation. This method is used when trying to separate two different volatile compounds whose boiling points differ by 40-50°C or more. If the boiling points are too close‚ this method

Sansui-ga is a form of Japanese monochrome landscape paintings‚ the preferred genre among Zen painters in the 14th-16th century. Sansui-ga painting is done in Chinese-inspired sumi-e or suiboku-ga‚ an ink wash painting style‚ which uses black ink in various concentrations. Gradations of ink are used to create a sense of light and shade‚ as well as modulated brushstrokes and lines to create a sense of volume and rhythm. (Parent) Vast landscapes on screens and sliding doors set a serene and contemplative

20 THINGS YOU CAN DO TO CONSERVE ENERGY Whenever you save energy‚ you not only save money‚ you also reduce the demand for such fossil fuels as coal‚ oil‚ and natural gas. Less burning of fossil fuels also means lower emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2)‚ the primary contributor to global warming‚ and other pollutants. You do not have to do without to achieve these savings. There is now an energy efficient alternative for almost every kind of appliance or light fixture. That means that consumers
