Answer to Problem 23.21P

  • The value of linear velocity is 13.9m/min.
  • The value of volume flow rate is 3mL/min.

Explanation of Solution

Given information,

Columnlengthis30.1m.Thicknessofthestationaryphaseis3.1µm.Columninnerdiameteris0.530mm.Unretainedsolutepassesthroughin2.16min.Particularsolutepassesthroughin17.32min.

Calculate the linear flow rate

Linearflowrate=30.1m2.16min=13.9351=13.9m/min.

The value of linear velocity is 13.9m/min.

Calculate the radius of the tube

Innerdiameterofthetube=530µm-2(3.1µm)=523.8µmradius=261.9µm

Calculate the volume

Volume=πr2×length=π(261.9×10-4cm)2(30.1×102cm)=(3.14)(261.9×10-4cm)2(30.1×102cm)=6.49mL.

Calculate the volume flow rate

(6.49mL2.16min)=3.0046=3.00mL/min.

The volume flow rate is 3mL/min.

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The retention factor of solute and the fraction of time spent in the stationary phase has to be calculated.

Answer to Problem 23.21P

  • The retention factor of solute is 7.02.
  • The fraction of time spent by solute in the stationary phase is 0.875.

Explanation of Solution

Given information,

Valueoftris17.32min.Valueoftmis2.16min.

Calculate the retention factor of solute

k=tr-tmtm=17.32-2.162.16=15.162.16=7.01852=7.02.

The retention factor of solute is 7.02.

Calculate the fraction of time spent by solute in stationary phase

k=tstm(wheretsisthetimeinstationaryphase)Fractionoftime=tsts+tm=ktmktm+tm=kk+1=7.027.02+1=0.87531=0.875.

The fraction of time spent by solute in the stationary phase is 0.875.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of partition coefficient (K) has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Partition coefficient:

Partition of a solute is depends on “like dissolves like” concept.  This means the solubility of solute is more in a solvent whose polarity is similar to that of the solute.

The partition coefficient of solute (S) is given by

Solute(inphase1)Solute(inphase2)

K=AS2AS1[S]2[S]1where,K-partitioncoefficientAS1-Activityofsoluteinphase1AS2-Activityofsoluteinphase2[S]1-Concentrationofsoluteinphase1[S]2-Concentrationofsoluteinphase2

Answer to Problem 23.21P

  • The value of partition coefficient (K) is 295.

Explanation of Solution

Given information,

Columnlengthis30.1m.Thicknessofthestationaryphaseis3.1µm.Columninnerdiameteris0.530mm.Unretainedsolutepassesthroughin2.16min.Particularsolutepassesthroughin17.32min.

Calculate volume of stationary phase

Volumeofcoating=2πr×thickness×length=2(3.14)[(261.9+1.55)×10-4](3.1×10-4cm)(30.1×102cm)=0.15437=0.154mL.

Calculate the value of partition coefficient

k=KVsVmK=(7.02)6.49mL0.154mL=45.55980.154=CsCm=295.8428=295.

The value of partition coefficient (K) is 295.
