  2.    control elution of the different analytes
  3.    reduce band broadening to get sharper peaks
  4.    all of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> all of these

  2.    retention factor
  3.    retention index
  4.    all of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> all of these
Question 47. . What are the benefits of decreasing the column internal diameter?
  1.    Increased sample capacity
  2.    Increased resolution
  3.    Reduced risk of column overloading
  4.    All of the above
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Increased resolution
Question 48. . Column bleeding occurs when
  1.    elution of the analyte is extended over time
  2.    the column is cracked and stationary phase leaks out
  3.    traces of the stationary phase are eluted
  4.    the column breaks during installation and causes personal injury
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> traces of the stationary phase are eluted
