Analysis of the components of a mixture using gas-liquid chromatography normally involves measuring the A - VCE - SSCE Chemistry - Question 1 - 2007 - Paper 1

In gas-liquid chromatography (GLC), the primary measurement typically involves determining the retention time of the various components in a mixture as they are separated in the chromatographic column. This process utilizes a gas as the mobile phase, allowing for the efficient transport of the sample through the column. Each component will have its own specific retention time, which is influenced by its properties and the interactions with the stationary phase within the column.
