Gas Chromatography separates organic samples much in the same way as column chromatography. The only differences are that it uses a moving gas phase and a stationary liquid phase, and that the temperature of the gas system can be controlled. In a gas chromatograph the sample is shot in with a syringe and is immediately vaporized in a heated injection chamber. It is then introduced to a moving stream of gas called the carrier gas which sweeps the vaporized sample into a column filled with particles filled with liquid adsorbent. This column is usually filled with liquid that has a low vapor pressure and high boiling and is called the stationary phase. This ph

A number of errors could have happened in this lab. First if the gas producing tube was put in the products tube too early some of the product could have been air (first 8mL is air in the tube). This would cause the gas chromatographer to give a reading of air as one of the components. A second error could have happened if the tubing was not removed from the water bath before cooling the reaction flask. This would could cause water to be sucked up into the reaction vessel, which contains concentrated acids which would then react with the water.
