The following data were obtained during gas-liquid chromatography of a mixture of two volatile constituents of a pesticide residue in cereal crops. Which of the following statements about the experiment is TRUE? Component Retention time (min) Peak width at base (min) 5.80 0.85 Y 6.75 0.75 There was overlap between the X and Y peaks. O The theoretical plate number is higher for component X than for component Y. O It is not possible to say for which component the HETP was lower because the column length is not stated. O Inclusion of an internal standard would have enabled quantitative analysis of the mixture. O The resolution for the two components exceeds 1.0.
