Question 11 Mixtures Of Long Chained Carboxylic Acids Fatty Acids Are Often Difficult To Separate With Gc Consequent 1 (71.72 KiB) Viewed 25 times

Question 11: Mixtures of long-chained carboxylic acids (fatty acids) are often difficult to separate with GC. Consequently, these compounds are sometimes converted to esters before analysis. This technique is known as derivatisation. What effect will derivatisation have? Derivatisation will reduce the volatility of the components of a mixture. Derivatisation will reduce the polarities of the components of the mixture. Derivatisation will decrease the detector response. All these possibilities are correct. None of these possibilities are correct.
