Question:

a. The suppressor in Figure 26-8 enables low parts per billion conductivity detection for anions such as Cl-Cl- and Br-,Br-. but very poor detection limits for anions such as CN-CN- and borate. Explain why.

b. Mixtures of sodium carbonate and bicarbonate can be used as eluent in suppressed-ion anion chromatography. Detection limits are poorer than with hydroxide eluent due to a higher background conductivity. Explain why.
