I cannot figure out how to upload the excel file.
a. This spreadsheet contains the digital data of six HPLC chromatographic injections (at different flow rates) of the same, two-component mixture through a 15.0 cm, reverse-phase column. For each chromatogram, determine the following;
Peak width at baseline for each peak, w.
Retention time for both peaks, tR.
Adjusted retention time for each peak, tr’.
Capacity factor for both peaks, k’.
Unadjusted relative capacity factor, γ.
Resolution between the peaks, R.
Summarize your results in the table below but you must also submit your work to get full marks.
