Gas chromatography is a very useful instrument in analyzing organic compounds. Gas chromatography has four major parts

1. Injection / 2. Oven / 3. Detector / 4. A recorder

Do a literature search and

1. Describe the general principle of how a gas chromatography works

2. Explain how a thermal conductivity detector works in gas chromatography

3. If you are given a sample of potassium t-butoxide, can you use the gas chromatography to analyze it.

**If your answer is yes, please explain. If it is no, please explain why not**
