In a HPLC separation of two compounds, A and B, the retention times observed are 3.5 min. for A and 4.5 min. for B on a 15 cm column. The retention time for the mobile phase is 1.0 min. The peak widths (at the base) for A and B are 0.5 and 0.7 min respectively. Calculate the following: (i) The capacity factor of A and B. (ii) The peak resolution. (iii) The average number of theoretical plates in the column

How can the selectivity factor be manipulated in (a) GC and (b) LC?
Consider the separation of components A and B on a GC column. The retention time for component A is 1.4 min and for component B is 2.1 min. The width at the base for the peak due toA is 0.38 min and for the peak due to B is 0.53 min. Calculate the resolution, R, and tell whetherthe two peaks are considered to be resolved and why.
Substances A and B have retention times of 12.75 and 14.28 min, respectively, on a 30.0-cm column. An unretained species passes through the column in 1.10 min. The peak widths (at base) for A and B are 1.11 and 1.27 min, respectively. What is the resolution?
Substance A and B were found to have retention times of 16.40 and 17.63 min. respectively, on a 30cm HPLC column. An unretained species passed through the column in 1.30 min. The peak widths at base for A and B were 1.11 and 1.21 min, respectively. Calculate the a.) Column resolution b.) the average nbumber of plates in the column and the plate height.
In order to obtain better separation of the mixture, the above analysis was repeated using an HPLC technique. The retention times of compounds A and B were found to be 15.25 and 16.80 min, respectively, on a 40-cm packed column. An unretained species passed through the column in 1.25 min. The peak base width for A and B are 1.15 and 1.27 min, respectively. Calculate: i) The column resolution. ii) The average number of plates in the column. iii) The plate height. iv) The length of column required to achieve a resolution of 1.5.
Two components in an HPLC separation have retention times thatdiffer by 22 s. The first peak elutes in 10.5 min and the peakwidths are approximately equal. Use a spreadsheet to find theminimum number of theoretical plates needed to achieve thefollowing resolution, Rs, values: 0.50, 0.75, 0.90, 1.0, 1.10, 1.25,1.50, 1.75, 2.0, and 2.5. How would the results change if peak 2were twice as broad as peak 1?
