34. Figure 3 shows Van Deemter plots for a solute molecule using different column inner diameters (i.d.).
A) Predict whether decreasing the column inner diameters increase or decrease bandwidth.
B) Predict which van Deemter equation coefficient (A, B, or C) has the greatest effect on increasing or
decreasing bandwidth as a function of i.d. and justify your answer.
Figure 3 Van Deemter plots for hydroquinone using different column inner diameters (i.d. in μm). The data was
obtained from liquid chromatography experiments using fused-silica capillary columns packed with 1.0-μm particles.

experimentally determined van Deemter plots of column efficiency, H, vs. flow rate. H is a
quantitative measurement of band broadening. The left plot is for a liquid chromatography application and the
night is for gas chromatography. Compare and contrast these two plots in terms of the three band broadening
mechanisms presented in this activity. How are they similar? How do they differ? Justify your answers.?
