22-A. Consider a chromatography experiment in which two compo- nents with retention factors k = 4.00 and k2 = 5.00 are injected into a column with N = 1.00 × 10° theoretical plates. The retention time for the less-retained component is t,1 = 10.0 min. (a) Calculate fm and t,2. Find wy2 (width at half-height) and w (width at the base) for each peak.

Question
22-A. Consider a chromatography experiment in which two compo-
nents with retention factors k, = 4.00 and k2 = 5.00 are injected into
a column with N = 1.00 × 10° theoretical plates. The retention time
for the less-retained component is t,1 = 10.0 min.
(a) Calculate fm and 1,2. Find w12 (width at half-height) and w
(width at the base) for each peak.
(b) Using graph paper, sketch the chromatogram analogous to
Figure 22-7, supposing that the two peaks have the same amplitude
(height). Draw the half-widths accurately.
