Flash column chromatography speeds up separation by
Aspinning the column rapidly
Bdriving solvent with positive pressure
Cusing a gas as the mobile phase
Dheating the column strongly
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. driving solvent with positive pressure
Applying positive pressure pushes the solvent through faster, so most separations finish in under 20 minutes.
