QUESTION 20 A sample run through a GC gave a peak with retention time of 2.431 minutes, a peak height of 82 mm, and a width at half height of 18 mm. What was the peak area, to 2 significant figures?@GMU 2020

Step 1
The width at half height is the distance between the two points on the peak where the height is half of the peak height. Since the width at half height is not given in the question, we cannot directly calculate the peak area. We need this information to proceed. Show more…

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?
