Retention Time given Number of Theoretical Plates and Width of Peak Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Retention Time given NP and WP = (Width of Peak/4)*(sqrt(Number of Theoretical Plates))
t_{NP_WP} = (w/4)*(sqrt(N))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Retention Time given NP and WP - (Measured in Second) - Retention Time given NP and WP is defined as the time taken by the solute to move over the stationary phase and to come out of the column.
Width of Peak - (Measured in Second) - The Width of Peak is defined as the total distance of the base of the peak.
Number of Theoretical Plates - The Number of Theoretical Plates is defined as used to determine column efficiency based on the calculation in which the larger the theoretical plate number the sharper the peaks.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Width of Peak: 3.1 Second --> 3.1 Second No Conversion Required
Number of Theoretical Plates: 10 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

t_{NP_WP} = (w/4)*(sqrt(N)) --> (3.1/4)*(sqrt(10))

Evaluating ... ...

t_{NP_WP} = 2.45076518663049

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.45076518663049 Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

2.45076518663049 ≈ 2.450765 Second <-- Retention Time given NP and WP

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
