A certain inorganic cation has an electrophoretic mobility of 5.27 x 10-4 cm2s-1V-1.  The same ion has a diffusion coefficient of 9.5 x 10-6cm2s-1.  If this ion is separated from cations by CZE with a 75cm capillary, what is the expected plate count, N, at an applied voltage of 15.0kV?  Under these separation conditions, the electroosmotic flow rate was 0.85mm s-1 toward the cathode.  If the detector was 50.0cm from the injection end of the capillary, how long would it take in minutes for the analyte cation to reach the detector after the field was applied?
