Questions and Answers

What is the primary reason for tailing effects in chromatography?

  • Insufficient number of adsorption sites
  • Poor distribution coefficient
  • Adsorption processes (correct)
  • Lack of suitable mobile phase

What is the result of a stationary phase with insufficient adsorption sites?

  • Coelution
  • Poor resolution
  • Tailing effect
  • Fronting effect (correct)

What is the relationship between the retention factor k' and the analysis time?

  • Lower k' values result in longer analysis times
  • Higher k' values result in shorter analysis times
  • Higher k' values result in longer analysis times and wider peaks (correct)
  • Lower k' values result in higher sensitivity
