An open tubular chromatography column is 28.9 m long and has an inner diameter of 0.510 mm. The inside wall is coated with a layer of stationary phase 3.3 ?m thick. Unretained solute passes through the column in 3.86 min, while a certain solute has a retention time of 17.39 min. (a) What are the linear and volume flow rates? (b) What is the capacity factor, k\', and the partition coefficient, Cs/Cm, for this solute? (c) What fraction of time did the solute spend in the stationary phase?
