• Linear flow rate (ux)= L / tM
Compare Chromatograms
#1
Chromatograms of compounds A and B were obtained at the same flow
rate with two columns of equal length.
2. Find the retention time for a solute with a capacity factor of 10.0.
What width is expected for a band with a retention volume of 127 mL?
• Find the capacity factor for the solute and the fraction of time spent in the
stationary phase.
k' = t'R / tM = (tR-tM) / tM = (17.32 min – 2.16 min) / 2.16 min = 7.02.
k' = ts / tm => ts = k' * tm = 7.02 x 2.16 min = 15.16 min.
fraction in stat. phase = 15.16/17.32 = 0.875
peak half-width 10 mm 12 mm
AUCa .
=> AUCA / AUCB = A / B
AUCB = AUCA x B / A.
1. What size column would you use to separate 100 mg of the same mixture?
same length (40 cm),
diameter: mB / mA = rB2 / rA2 = dB2 / dA2
dB2 = dA2 * mB/mA = 0.852 cm2 * 100 mg/4 mg = 18.06 cm, dB = 4.25 cm
