Solvent passes through a column in 3.0 min but solute requires 9.0 min.
(a) Calculate the retention factor, k.
(b) What fraction of time is the solute in the mobile phase in the column?
(c)The volume of stationary phase is 1/10 of the volume of the mobile phase in the column (Vs = 0.10Vm). Find the partition coefficient, K, for this system.
