1) The efficiency of a GC separation of 2-butanone on a dinonyl phthalate packed column was studied.  Evaluating plate height as a function of flow rate gave a van Deemter equation for which A is 1.65 mm, B is 25.8 mm•mL min–1, and C is 0.0236 mm•min mL–1 (d) For open-tubular columns, the A term no longer is needed. If the B and C terms remain unchanged, what is the optimum flow rate and the corresponding height of a theoretical plate? (e) Compared to the packed column, how many more theoretical plates are in the open-tubular column?  (Assume the two columns have the same length.)
