Capacity Factor given Retention Time and Mobile Phase Travel Time Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Capacity Factor of the Compound = (Retention Time-Unretained Solute Travel Time)/Unretained Solute Travel Time
k^'compound = (t_r-t_m)/t_m
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Capacity Factor of the Compound - The Capacity factor of the Compound is directly proportional to the retention factor. The longer a component is retained by the column, the greater is the capacity factor.
Retention Time - (Measured in Second) - The Retention Time of solute is defined as the time taken by the solute to move over the stationary phase and to come out of the column.
Unretained Solute Travel Time - (Measured in Second) - The Unretained Solute Travel Time is the time taken by the mobile phase to move over the length of the column.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Retention Time: 13 Second --> 13 Second No Conversion Required
Unretained Solute Travel Time: 4.8 Second --> 4.8 Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

k^'compound = (t_r-t_m)/t_m --> (13-4.8)/4.8

Evaluating ... ...

k^'compound = 1.70833333333333

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.70833333333333 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.70833333333333 ≈ 1.708333 <-- Capacity Factor of the Compound

What is Chromatography?

A separation process based on the various partitioning coefficients of different solutes between the two phases.
Involving the interaction of solute(s) and two phases
Mobile phase: A gas or liquid that moves through the column.
Stationary phase: A solid or liquid that remains in place.

What are the types of Chromatography?

1) Adsorption chromatography
2) Ion-exchange chromatography
3) Partition chromatography
4) Molecular Size exclusion chromatography
5) Affinity chromatography
