What parts of the atom are exchanged in chemical reactions

Apeak with a retention time of 407 s has a width at half-height (w1/2) of 7.6 s. a neighboring peak is eluted 17 s later with a w1/2 of 9.4 s. a compound that is known not to be retained was eluted in 2.5 s. the peaks are not baseline resolved. how many theoretical plates would be needed to achieve a resolution of 1.5?

In 2002, the rare earth elements mine in mountain pass, california was closed because

100 grams of molten lead (600°c) is used to make musket balls. if the lead shot is allowed to cool to room temperature (21°c), what is the change in entropy (in j/k) of the lead? (for the specific heat of molten and solid lead use 1.29 j/g⋅°c; the latent heat of fusion and the melting point of lead are 2.45 × 104 j/kg and 327°c, respectively.)
