2.4. Answer the questions **


1) If the alkali pump timer on the distillation system was set to deliver 25 ml of 50%
NaOH and 7 ml of concentrated H2SO4 was used to digest the sample, how many
milliliters of the 50% NaOH is actually required to neutralize the amount of
sulfuric acid used in the digestion? How would your results have been changed if
the alkali pump timer had malfunctioned and delivered only 15 ml of the 50%
NaOH? (Molarity of conc. H2SO4 = 18)

oats) differ from that for corn.

analysis method that overcomes (at least partially) that disadvantage. **

2. Fill the blank using listed words
chromatographic mobile matrix quantifying separation polarity interaction
Food analysis methods are built around high-performance liquid chromatography, which
has proven to be an optimal technology for detecting and/or ……… the vast majority of food
analytes. These methods employ a stepwise approach that first removes the sample ……, then
isolates the analytes of interest and individually resolves them on a …… column. The efficiency
of the …….. depends on, among other things, the differential ……. of analytes of interest with
both ……. and column stationary phases. Of course, classifying food analytes according to their
relative volatility and ……. are factors that must be considered when selecting an appropriate
analytical method for their determination.

9. Analyze the grammatical elements of relative clauses and passive voice in the following
passage:
Many food-related HPLC analyses utilize reversed phase chromatography in which the mobile
phase is relatively polar, such as water, dilute buffer, methanol, or acetonitrile. The stationary
phase (column packing) is relatively nonpolar, usually silica particles coated with a C8 or C18
hydrocarbon. As compounds travel through the column, they partition between the hydrocarbon
stationary phase and the mobile phase. The mobile phase may be constant during the
chromatographic separation (i.e., isocratic) or changed stepwise or continuously (i.e., gradient).
When the compounds elute separated from each other at the end of the column, they must be
detected for identification and quantitation. Identification often is accomplished by comparing the
volume of liquid required to elute a compound from a column (expressed as retention volume or
retention time) to that of standards chromatographed under the same conditions. Quantitation
generally involves comparing the peak height or area of the sample peak of interest with the peak
height or area of a standard (at the same retention time). The results are usually expressed in
milligrams per gram or milliliters of food sample.
