Which of the following types of chromatography enables us to make accurate quantitative analysis of the mixtures of gases, liquids, and volatile solids?

Options

A. Paper chromatography
B. Gas chromatography
C. Thin layer chromatography
D. Column chromatography

Answer

B

Explanation

Gas chromatography is the newest and the most important type of chromatography. It is quick, extremely sensitive, and very versatile in its application.
Here, a small quantity of the volatile mixture is injected in to a steady stream of an unreactive gas which acts as carrier. On passing through the column, the vapors of comstituents of the mixture undergo adsorption of partition to different extents.
