Question 3 (HPLC) [20 Marks] The graph shows retention data for separation of three compounds using a 15 cm x 0.46 cm diameter 5 pm CB column and a mobile phase composed of a mixture of acetonitrile/water delivered at flow rate of 1.0 mL/minute. Where k is the capacity factor and is the volume fraction. 1.4 1.2 Ethylbenzene 1.0 0.8 log k Toluene 0.6 0.4 0.2 Benzophenone 0.0 0.35 0.40 0.45 0.50 0.55 0.60 0.65 Mobile phase composition (0) a. What mobile-phase composition provides I. Greatest retention (k) for the components? [1 Mark) II. Least retention (k) for components? [1 Mark] b. Calculate the retention time of each analyte at 40 % acetonitrile and draw a chromatogram representing each peak as a vertical line "stick diagram".
