Chapter 23: Q26P (page 630)

The retention volume of a solute is 76.1mL for a column with $V_{m} = 16.6 m L$ and $V_{s} = 12.7 m L$ . Calculate the retention factor and the partition coefficient for this solute.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) Retention factor =k =3.59

b) Partition coefficient=k = 4.69

Step by step solution

Given Information:

$V_{r} = 76.2 m L, V_{m} = 16.6 m L, V_{s} = 12.7 m L$

To find the Retention factor:

Retention factor as

$k = \frac{V_{r} - V_{m}}{V_{m}}$

Substitute the given data values are

$k = \frac{76.2 m L - 16.6 m L}{16.6 m L} k = 3.59$

To find the Partition coefficient;

$K = k \times \frac{V_{m}}{V_{s}}$

Substitute the given data values are

$K = 3.59 \times \frac{16.6 m L}{12.7 m L} K = 4.69$
