Question 1

What does a high partition constant (K) indicate?

  • Shorter retention time
  • Longer retention time
  • No effect on retention time

💡 Hint: Think about which phase analytes prefer.

Question 2

True or False: Adjusting the temperature in chromatography can change the partition constant.

  • True
  • False

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

You have a complex mixture of volatile and non-volatile compounds. Describe how you would set up a chromatography experiment to effectively analyze both types, including any steps you would take to dynamically control the process.

💡 Hint: Think about the characteristics that each type of compound has in relation to their phase preferences.

Question 2

The results from your chromatography analysis show overlap in peak retention times for two different analytes. Discuss possible strategies to resolve this issue without reanalyzing the samples.

💡 Hint: Identify how changing each parameter can influence separation of analytes!
