A \( 30 \ \mathrm{m} \) column gives \( 90000 \) plates. Its plate height is

  • A.0.33 mm
  • B.3.3 mm
  • C.0.033 mm
  • D.3000 mm

Answer: A

Dividing length by plate number:

\[ H = \frac{30 \ \mathrm{m}}{90000} = 0.33 \ \mathrm{mm} \]

giving 0.33 millimetres, typical of a good capillary column. A packed column might give ten times that. Converting to a length per plate is what makes a thirty-metre capillary and a two-metre packed column directly comparable.
