An open tubular column is 30.1 m long and has an inner
diameter of 0.530 mm. It is coated on the inside wall with a layer of
stationary phase that is 3.1 mm thick. Unretained solute passes
through in 2.16 min, whereas a particular solute has a retention time
of 17.32 min.
(a) Find the linear velocity and volume fl ow rate.
(b) Find the retention factor for the solute and the fraction of time
spent in the stationary phase.
(c) Find the partition coefficient, K = cs/cm, for this solute.
