What contributes to zone broadening in chromatography?
What contributes to zone broadening in chromatography?
- Solute concentration, column length, flow rate
- Transverse diffusion, heat transfer, pressure effect
- Temperature, solvent type, column material
- Longitudinal diffusion, resistance to mass transfer, multiple path effect (correct)
What is the formula for band broadening due to longitudinal diffusion?
What is the formula for band broadening due to longitudinal diffusion?
- $HL = \frac{L1}{DMV}$
- $HL = \frac{L1}{DM} \times V$
- $HL = L1 + DM - V$
- $HL = L1 \frac{DM}{V}$ (correct)
