### Question 8

Borneol and isoborneol were formed in a reaction. Use the following GC chromatogram of the isoborneol and borneol dissolved in acetone to answer the question: **Please note that the question is below the chromatogram.**

#### GC of Borneol and Isoborneol

**Graph Explanation:**
- The graph displays a Gas Chromatography (GC) chromatogram with time (in minutes) on the x-axis and counts on the y-axis.
- Three distinct peaks are shown in the chromatogram:
  - The first peak is at 0.82 minutes.
  - The second peak is at 2.14 minutes.
  - The third peak is at 2.45 minutes.

**Below the Graph:**
There is a table that lists the components, their peak areas, and their boiling points in degrees Celsius:

| Component  | Peak Area | Boiling Point (deg. C) |
|------------|-----------|------------------------|
| Acetone    | 8.06E+04  | 56                     |
| Isoborneol | 4.84E+04  | 210                    |
| Borneol    | 1.61E+04  | 213                    |

The numbers above each peak represent the time that it took for the peak to come out of the column and be detected. **What is the term given to this value?**

### Chromatogram Analysis:

#### Graph Description:
The graph is a chromatogram that shows the detection of different components over time. It has the following features:
- **X-axis:** Represents time in minutes (min) ranging from 0 to 3 minutes.
- **Y-axis:** Represents counts (presumably of signal strength) up to 18,000.
- **Peaks:** There are three distinct peaks labeled with their respective retention times:
  - Peak at 0.82 minutes
  - Peak at 2.14 minutes
  - Peak at 2.45 minutes

#### Table Description:
The table lists the properties of the detected components:
- **Component:** Lists the names of the chemicals.
- **Peak Area:** Shows the area under each peak, given in scientific notation (E format).
- **Boiling Point:** Indicates the boiling point of each component in degrees Celsius (°C).

| Component  | Peak Area | Boiling Point (°C) |
|------------|-----------|--------------------|
| Acetone    | 8.06E+04  | 56                 |
| Isoborneol | 4.84E+04  | 210                |
| Borneol    | 1.61E+04  | 213                |

#### Question:
The numbers above each peak represent the time that it took the peak to come out of the column and be detected. What is the term given to this value?

- O retention factor
- O relocation time
- O retention time
- O refraction time

---

(Note: The correct term for the time it takes for a peak to come out and be detected in chromatography is "retention time.")
