Answer:
The plate height for benzene is 0.455mm
Explanation:
[tex]N=5.54\left(\frac{t r}{w_{\frac{1}{2}}}\right)^{2}[/tex]
[tex]N=\frac{L}{H}[/tex]
[tex]H=\frac{L}{N}[/tex]
Where, N = theoretical plate
[tex]t_r[/tex] = retention time
[tex]w_{(\frac{1}{2})}[/tex]= Half of the width of the peak at it’s base
L = length of the column
H = Plate height
Since, there is no attached chromatogram so it can’t evaluate the value of[tex]t_r[/tex]and[tex]w_{(\frac{1}{2})}[/tex]
Putting the values in the above mentioned formulae
Hence, N = 66049.5
H =[tex]\frac{L}{N}[/tex]
=[tex]\frac{L}{66049.5 }[/tex]
= 0.45mm
Hence, the plate height of benzene is 0.455mm
