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?

Ahypothrticalax type of ceramic material is known to have a density of 2.10 g/cm3 and a unit cell of cubic symmetry with a cell edge length of 0.57 nm. the atomic weights of the a and x elements are 28.5and 30.0 g/mol, respectively. on the basis of this information, which of the following crystal structures is (are) possible for this material: sodium chloride, cesium chloride, or zinc blende
