Chapter 23, Problem 23.26P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of retention factor and partition coefficient has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Relation between $kandK$:

Relationship between retention factor and partition coefficient is given by

$\begin{array}{l}\text{K}\text{=}\text{k}\frac{{\text{V}}_{\text{m}}}{{\text{V}}_{\text{s}}}\\ \text{where,}\\ \text{k}\text{-}\text{retention}\text{factor}\\ \text{K}\text{-}\text{partition}\text{coefficient}\\ {\text{V}}_{\text{m}}\text{-}\text{volume}\text{of}\text{mobile}\text{phase}\\ {\text{V}}_{\text{s}}\text{-}\text{volume}\text{of}\text{stationary}\text{phase}\end{array}$
