a/A sample containing anthracene dissolved in methane was separated using gas chromatography on a column with mobile phase (Vm) and stationary phase (Vs) volumes of 24 mL and 9.4 mL, respectively. For this particular column, anthracene has a retention volume (Vr) of 53.4 mL. Calculate the retention factor (k) and the partition coefficient (K) for anthracene in this separation.
