what is the difference between c-8 and c-18 column
Answer Posted / bhupalreddy
In chromatography silanol groups (Si-OH) at the
surface of silica gel are reacted with substituted Chloro
Silanes.
CH3 CH3
| | | |
--Si–OH + Cl - Si--R → --Si-O - Si - R
| | | |
CH3 CH3
By changing characteristics of group i.e. from changing R
from C1 to C18 we can alter the nature of stationary phase
from polar to non polar. Since C18 columns is non polar.
This helps separating various combinations of polar – non
polar constituents from the analyte.
C-8 columns contain 8 carbons and C-18 contains 18
carbons are attached to silicon group to form stationary
phases for chromatography. The C-18 columns are highly
Non polar compared to C-8 columns and most of the compounds
are well separated in C-18 carbon packed columns.

2. Two grams of Benzoic acid are dissolved in 200 ml of water and extracted with 200 ml of diethyl ether. The distribution coefficient of benzoic acid is 100, and its dissociation constant is 6.5 10-5. Calculate the distribution ratio (D) of benzoic acid at pH 2, 5, and 6. 3. Calculate D at pH 2 to 10 (1 unit apart) in the above problem, and plot D versus pH.
