Question
A mixture of species of A and B is injected into a liquid chromatographic column with length of 20.0 cm. The obtained separation results are listed as follows:
Species
Retention time (min)
Peak Width at Base (min)
Non-retained
3.0
A
5.2
0.48
В
5.9
0.56
From the data, the calculated resolution Rs is smaller than 1.5 for A and B when the column length is 20.0 cm, which indicates that A and B are not separate completely. What is the
new column length (unit: cm) necessary to separate the A and B species with a good resolution Rs = 1.5? Please keep your answer to one decimal place.
