Question

4. Chromatographic separations. A typical chromatography column is 15 cm long, has a phase ratio ? = 0.2, and has a mobile phase velocity of 2 mm s?¹. (a) What is the velocity of a solute that has a partition coefficient K = 20 for binding to the stationary phase? (b) Suppose you can distinguish two peaks as close as 2 mm together when they reach the end of the column. If one peak corresponds to K = 20, what is the partition coefficient for the other peak?
