Question 2

Which statement(s) is/are correct for gas chromatography (GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS)?

  1. In gas-liquid chromatography, the mobile phase is an inert carrier gas and the stationary phase is a high-boiling liquid adsorbed onto an inert solid support.
  2. The area under each peak on a gas chromatogram is directly proportional to the retention time of that component in the column.
  3. When coupled with a mass spectrometer (GC-MS), the mass spectrum of each separated component can be compared against a spectral library database to identify the substance.
