Question

(a) How can you improve the resolution between two closely spaced peaks in gas chromatography?

(b) What approach from (a) would be most cost effective (not involve a purchase)?

Short answer

(a). In gas chromatography, to show how to improve the resolution between two closely spaced peaks.

(b). Optimizing the flow rate and temperature in gas chromatography is the most effective way to improve the resolution between the two closely spaced peaks.

Step-by-step solution

Definition of chromatography 

As a result of differential distribution of the solutes as they flow over or over a stationary liquid or solid phase, a chemical mixture transported by a liquid or gas is split into components.

Determine the resolution between two closely spaced peaks in gas chromatography  

(a)

• It is necessary to discuss how to improve the resolution between two closely spaced peaks in gas chromatography.
• In gas chromatography, to show how to improve the resolution between two closely spaced peaks.
• In gas chromatography, there are several approaches to increase the resolution between two closely spaced peaks:
• Increase the column's length while decreasing its diameter.
• By altering the stationary phase of the system.
• By maximising the pace of flow.
• Increase the retention factor by increasing the thickness of the film as the temperature drops.

Determine in what approach from (a) would be most cost effective (not involve a purchase)

(b)

• It is necessary to take the most cost-effective technique.
• To provide the most cost-effective solution
• Optimizing the flow rate and temperature in gas chromatography is the most effective way to improve the resolution between the two closely spaced peaks.
