How does a higher column temperature affect the retention time of compounds in gas-liquid chromatography?

<p>It increases the retention time because it excites molecules into the gas phase, reducing their attraction to the liquid phase. (B)</p> Signup and view all the answers

What is the impact of an increase in gas flow on the retention time in gas-liquid chromatography?

<p>The retention time decreases because the faster gas flow carries the vaporized solute, causing a quicker emergence of the solute and therefore decreasing the retention time. (A)</p> Signup and view all the answers
