(a) How many theoretical plates produce a chroma- tography peak eluting at 12.83 min with a width at half-height of 8.7 s?
(b) The length of the column is 15.8 cm. Find the plate height.
a)
number of plates = 16 ( peak elutiing / half height )^2
= 16 (12.83 / 8.7)^2
= 34.8
b) plate height = length / number of plates
= 15.8 / 34.8
= 0.454 cm
