(i) Calculate the capacity factors (k') for both compounds A and B and the selectivity factor (a) between them, commenting on the values. (ii) Calculate the resolution between A and B and comment on it. (iii) Using the peak for A, calculate the number of theoretical plates for the GC column and comment on the quality of the column.
A gas chromatogram of a mixture of toluene and ethyl (a) Measure w1/2 for each peak to the nearest 0.1 mm. When the thickness of the pen trace is significant relative to the length being measured, it is important to take the pen width into account. It is best to measure from the edge of one trace to the corresponding edge of the other trace, as shown at the bottom of the left column. (b) Find the number of theoretical plates and the plate height for each peak.

A solution of volume 1 mL, containing an equal parts mixture (by weight) of aspirin and paracetamol (acetaminophen), was analysed by HPLC, displaying peaks at retention times 1.5 mins (area integration 1500) and 2.0 mins (area integration 2500). An unknown solution, also volume 1 mL, was analysed under the same conditions and, among a number of other peaks, there was one at 2.0 mins (area integration 4000). (i) How can the 2.0 min peak in the unknown sample be confirmed as paracetamol? (ii) In a subsequent analysis, 5.0 mg of aspirin was dissolved in the unknown solution and an extra peak appeared in the HPLC at 1.5 mins (area integration 2000). Assuming the 2.0 min peak confirmed as paracetamol, determine its concentration (g L-¹) in the unknown sample and estimate the error in the determination.
