Separation / Chromatography
Lets assume I have three component mixture of liquids. And I wish to determine the quantity of each component present. I have reference samples of two of the components but the other component is not identified. How do I design an experiment in order to obtain the % composition of the mixture.
I don't expect you to write whole experiment, just give me some start off. I don't have any idea to start this experiment design.
Thank you!

I would determine the boiling points of the two reference samples. Do a fractional distillation of the mixture with the knowledge of the two you know. Weigh the amounts and that should give you the percents.
