What is the relationship between theortical plates and efficiency of columns
Accepted Answer
The number of theoretical plates is a measure of the efficiency of a column. A higher number of theoretical plates indicates a more efficient column, as it means that there is less band broadening and the peaks are more resolved. This leads to a higher resolution of the separation and allows for a more accurate determination of the composition of the mixture being separated.
