QUESTION 5 In a chromatographic separation using a polar stationary phase and a mobile phase composed of 60% hexane and 40% ethyl acetate, two compounds, benzene (peak A) and toluene (peak B), are eluted. The width of peak A at its base is 1.2 min, the width of peak B at its base is 1.3 min, and the retention time of peak A is 5.2 min and peak B is 3.5 min. What is the resolution (Rs) between these two peaks and is it acceptable? R = 1.36. It is not an acceptable resolution. R = 0.74. It is an acceptable resolution. R = 1.36. It is an acceptable resolution. R = 0.74. It is not an acceptable resolution.

You are developing a procedure for determining traces of copper in biological materials using a wet digestion followed by measurements by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. In order to test the validity of the method, you obtain a NIST orchard leaves standard reference material and analyze this material with your procedure five times and obtain a mean of 12.27 ppm with a standard deviation of 0.097 ppm. The NIST sample is listed as 11.7 ppm. Does your method give a statistically valid value at the 95% confidence level?
