Why shouldn’t a buffer with a pH of 10.0 be used as a mobile phase in an HPLC separation? Group of answer choices Basic pH’s never improve the separation of compounds. At pH’s above 8, the linkage holding the stationary phase on the silica particle degrades. Basic solutions will deprotonate a molecule which makes them impossible to elute from a column. Basic pH’s will cause peak tailing.
