An open tubular gc column has n = 2.94 x 105 and a retention time of 38.5 min for methyl oleate. calculate the retention times of the closest peaks that can be resolved from the methyl oleate peak with a resolution of 1.5

hi my dude or dudette

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
