(a) When a solution containing 234 mg of butanol (FM 74.12) and 312 mg of hexanol (FM 102.17) in 10.0 mL was separated by gas chromatography, the relative peak areas were butanol:hexanol 1.00:1.45. Considering butanol to be the internal standard, find the response factor for hexanol. (b) Use Equation
