Abstract

Simulation of the Physical Chemistry of Gas Chromatography, for Windows-compatible computers, was developed as part of a physical chemistry unit on phase equilibrium. It uses moving frames, theory text blocks, and a simulation of equipment. Its aim is to show how basic principles, based on Henry's law and the plate model, explain many of the features of gas chromatography.
