Problem- A student was asked to separate two substances, A and B, on a 30 cm column. She obtained a chromatogram that gave retention times of 15.80 and 17.23 min for A and B, respectively. The base peak widths for A and B were 1.25 and 1.38 min, respectively.
A) Average Number of Theoretical Plates
B) Plate Height
C) Resolution
D) What should be a length of the column to achieve resolution of 2? Hint: Resolution is directly proportional, but not equal, to the square root of column length
