The following statements are true for any chromatographic analysis except: The analyte component interacting most strongly with the stationary phase elute faster than those with weaker interactions. On the other hand, those with least interaction with the mobile phase elute the slowest. Interactions between mobile phase-analyte - stationary phase can be both chemical and physical in nature.

A mixture of species of A, B, and C is injected into a liquid chromatographic column with length of 20.0 cm. The obtained separation results are listed as follows: Please calculate the resolution for species B and C from the data. Please keep your result to two decimal places. The answer would be 1.22, I would need help how to get that answer
For quantitative analysis with gas chromatography: O the area of a peak reported by the instrument for a compound is proportional to the quantity of that compound. O the calculated response factor value for a compound is proportional to the quantity of that compound. O the retention time reported by the instrument for a compound is proportional to the quantity of that compound. O the peak height reported by the instrument for a compound is inversely proportional to the quantity of that compound. O the peak shape reported by the instrument for a compound is proportional to the quantity of that compound.
Consider the following chromatographic data for the separation of methylparaben from ethylparaben in a sunscreen sample. Compound Methylparaben Retention time, tr (min). Width at base of peak, Wb (min) 3.2 4.2 0.55 0.60 Ethylparaben A compound not retained by the column in this analysis had a tm of 0.75 minutes. The column used was a C18 column with a mobile phase mixture of 75% methanol and 25% water. Calculate the number of theoretical plates for ethylparaben.
