Question:

The distribution constant for a solute in chromatography is KD=[S]S/[S]M, KD=[S]g/[S]M, where [S]S[S]S is the concentration in the stationary phase and [S]M[S]M is the concentration in the mobile phase. The larger the distribution constant, the longer it takes a solute to be eluted. Explain why.
