    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.</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.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    How is quantitative estimation typically done in gas-liquid chromatography?

    <p>By using mechanical or electronic accessories to automatically integrate the area under the peak.</p> Signup and view all the answers

    What role does high solubility in the liquid phase play in determining retention times in gas-liquid chromatography?

    <p>It decreases retention times as highly soluble compounds spend less time being carried along by the gas.</p> Signup and view all the answers
