Asample containing anthracene dissolved in methane was separated using gas chromatography. methane was detected at 42.5 seconds (tm) and anthracene was detected at 173.6 seconds (tr). if the manufacturer of the column states that the volume of the mobile phase (vm) is 7.0 times the volume of the stationary phase (vs), calculate both the retention factor (k) and the partition coefficient (k) for anthracene in this separation.

1) k= ?

2) k= ?

a) k = 4.085

b) K = 0.143

Explanation:

gas chromatography:

∴ tm = 42.5 s

∴ tr = 173.6 s

∴ Vm = 7 Vs

a) retention factor (k):

∴ k = tr/tm

⇒ k = 173.6/42.5 = 4.085

b) partition coefficient (K):

∴ K ≅ Vs/Vm

⇒ K = 1/7 = 0.143

answer

fusion: the energy source of stars. the energy released from the collapse of the gas into a protostar causes the center of the protostar to become extremely hot. when the core is hot enough, nuclear fusion commences. fusion is the process where two hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium atom, releasing energy.

it is a good conductor
