A mixture of two components is evaluated by GC. Given a peak area of 6.1 for compound 1 and a peak area of 5.4 for compound 2, what is the % composition of compound 1 in the mixture

53% of compound 1 in the mixture

Explanation:

In GC, the area obtained of a compound is directely proportional to its concentration.

You must assume the Response factor, RF, (How many area is produced from a quantity of compound) are equal.

Thus, if compound 1 has a peak are of 6.1 and compound 2 an area of 5.4. You can assume, thus, the quantity of 1 is 6.1 and quantity of 2 is 5.4

Percent composition is defined as 100 times the ratio between amount of 1 and total amount of compounds in the mixture. For compound 1 is:

(6.1 / 6.1+5.4) × 100 =

explanation:

venn diagram is pictorial representation with of circles showing the relation between two finite sets or things. the intersection part of two circles conveys the relation present in between those sets or things.

here in the venn diagram of sand and salt two circles represent sand and salt. but the area falling under the intersection of these circle represents the mixture of sand and salt.

so, in a venn diagram the mixture will be placed in a middle that is in between the intersection of two circles.
