Which of the following statements about a gas chromatogram is correct? O The height of the peak in the gas chromatogram is proportional to the amount of the compound present in the sample. O Tailing indicates that the gas chromatograph has been overloaded. O If the peaks are broad this could indicate that the sample is too polar. If the peaks overlap, the temperature can be increased at a slower rate to improve resolution. The retention time can be used to identify a compound by comparison with literature values, regardless of the conditions used.

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.
