a. Two chromatographic peaks with average widths, wav,^wav, of 6 min 6 min are eluted at 2424 and 29 min. 29 min. Which diagram in Figure 23-10 will most closely resemble the chromatogram?
b. Two chromatographic peaks are separated such that the signal returns to baseline between the two peaks. Based on Figure 23-10, what is the numerical value of the resolution between the peaks?
