i have a question? what's the temperature of the GC(detector,column,oven) for biodiesel using NaOH as catalyst and/or sugar-catalyst?

[MsGrammarnazi]

Thanks!

By the way,

YOU are totally hot.

we do in my lab, and there is nothing wrong with it.

i guess if you're an uncoordinated doofus, you'd need a $5000 piece of equipment to make up for it.

The volatility of the substance plays a role when using a temperature program like when seperating a mixed sample like alcohol and diesel (The alcohol will come off first with a relatively low retention time and the diesel will seperate into all the substructures of diesel like heptane,octane decane and the likes all with distinct retention times.
