(a)
Interpretation: The component of the sample that elutes faster needs to be determined. The reported boiling points of these substances need to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Gas chromatography is used to separate the components of a sample mixture. There are two phases that is stationary and mobile. The mobile phase flows with the stationary phase which is the phase on which compounds of the mixture that needs to be separated are selectively absorbed. The mobile phase carries these compounds.
(b)
Interpretation: The GLC experiment that should be performed to identified the peaks at 9.56 and 16.23 minutes needs to be determined.

(c)
Interpretation: The organic compound in bear responsible for the peak needs to be determined and explained.

- A student researcher performed a chromatographic separation of caffeine and aspartame. The retention time for caffeine, te, was found to be 200.8 s with a baseline peak width, we, of 16.1 s. The retention time for aspartame, ta, was 258.7 s with a baseline peak width, wa, of 20.6 s. The retention time for the unretained solvent methanol was 44.2 s. Calculate the average plate height, H, in micrometers for this separation, given that it was performed on a 22.1 cm long column. H = Calculate the resolution, R, for this separation using the widths of the peaks.
