Level 3 – Response/Correction Factors and Gas Chromatograpy Data A student performs a gas chromatography experiment similar to the one used in lab. They are attempting to determine the appropriate correction factor for Unknown 2. What is the correction factor for Unknown 2 (labeled as F in the “Correction Factor” row) if Compound A’s correction factor is set to 1.00? Assume that Standards A–D are reference standards (white background), and Unknowns 1–3 represent components of an unknown sample (grey background). Given: Compound Standard A Standard B Standard C Standard D Unknown 1 Unknown 2 Unknown 3 Elution time (s) 75    100 120  160 102 123 163 Area (mV*s) 880 1110 1180 1360 1340 990 1080 Correction Factor A (1) B C D E F G
