A student researcher performed a chromatographic separation of caffeine and aspartame with methanol as the mobile phase using a C,, column. The retention times for methanol (tM), caffeine (tc), and aspartame (tA) were 27.9 s, 95.0 s, and 163.4 s, respectively. What is the separation factor (relative retention), a, for this column? a = Calculate the hypothetical retention times for caffeine and aspartame if their retention factors were reduced by 27.0%. Assume the mobile phase retention time (tM = 27.9 s) remains constant. tc = tA = Select the statements that correctly describe the outcome if the distribution constant for caffeine (Kp) were to decrease.

The figure below shows a typical separation of several fat-soluble vitamins by HPLC. The x-axis is retention time in minutes. From the graph try to estimate retention times for peaks 2 and 3. Retention time peak 2 = Retention time peak 3 = Assume that w1/2 is 0.15 minutes for peak 2 and 0.16 minutes for peak 3. Assume that tm is 2.00 minutes. How much time does gamma-tocopherol spend in the stationary phase? From tr and w1/2 find N for the peak that elutes first. From tr and w1/2 find the resolution of peaks 2 and 3 Calculate α for these peaks. If the flow rate for the column is 1.2 mL/minute what is the retention volume for peak 4?
