1 A GC sample of a mixture of two compound produces a single peak in the chromatograph. Give two factors that you could change in the GC experiment to increase the resolution so that the two compounds are seperated.
Solution: Factors
-The optimising GC over temperature ramp, using a lower temperature rate before the time the overlapping happens.
-Another factor for this problem is reduction in ramping time.
-Optimize the carrier gas velocity (according to Van d method). Probably it is necessary to change the linear velocity of carrier gas. Try to reduce the velocity.
