Answer #1

If we increase the temperature, retention time decreases. As temperature increases, the velocity of movement of gas increases. So it will elute faster in the column.

Retention factor is the ratio between, retention time of compound to retention time of mobile phase. This is directly proportional to temperature. So with temperature, Retention factor decreases.

Plate number is directly proportional to retention time. So with temperature, plate number (N) decreases.

Plate height(H) is inversely proportional to plate number(N). So with temperature, plate height increases.

NH = L , L - total column length

Resolution is directly proportional to retention time. So with temperature, resolution decreases.

Separation factor is directly proportional to retention time. So with temperature, separation factor decreases.
