KABOOM! Why Is Gas Chromatography Used To Identify Alcohols

The goal is to accurately determine the identities and amounts of the alcohols that comprise an unknown solution.

Why is gas chromatography used to identify alcohols. For this experiment we use gas chromatography to study alcohols which are very volatile. A gas chromatograph is an instrument that allows separation of the components of a volatile mixture. The time required for the peak to appear the retention time.

This means that we are easily able to vaporize it and study alcohols using this technique. In conclusion gas chromatography method is the most suitable and quick method for determination of ethanol contents in alcoholic beverages with complex alcohol contents and small sample amount. This means that we are easily able to vaporize it and study alcohols using this technique.

The goal is to accurately determine the identities and amounts of the alcohols that comprise an unknown solution. We can also use gas chromatography to identify substances in an unknown mixture. You have already seen how gas chromatography is used to determine percent composition of mixtures.

You will use a process called co-injection or spiking to identify alcohols in.
