Question

a) -New 9/2017. If desired to just resolve two GC peaks with retention times of 90 and 120 Seconds (s), respectively, using a column that has an H value of 1.5 cm/plate under operating conditions. Assume the two peaks have the same base width and the band width is the difference in retention time between these peaks. i)Calculate Column resolution ii)What is the Length of column to achieve this separation?

Step 1

Calculate the column resolution: Column resolution = Base width of the two peaks - Band width of the two peaks Column resolution = 90 - 120 seconds = -10 seconds Show more…
