Question 1

What does a higher partition constant K indicate?

  • Faster elution
  • Greater retention
  • No effect on separation

💡 Hint: Think about how K affects the behavior of compounds.

Question 2

True or False: The efficiency of separation can be improved indefinitely by increasing flow rates.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the balance we discussed regarding flow rates.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A chromatographic analysis results in peaks for three compounds: A, B, and C, with retention times of 2 min, 3 min, and 4 min. If the flow rate is increased, describe the expected outcomes for each compound and potential impacts on the separation.

💡 Hint: Think about the trade-offs we discussed regarding velocity.

Question 2

Consider a mixture containing very similar compounds. Propose a method to ensure effective separation and discuss any challenges.

💡 Hint: Reflect on the importance of dynamic adjustments for your separation tasks.
