MCAT Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems Flashcards: 5c Chromatography Techniques

Study 5c Chromatography Techniques in MCAT Chemical and Physical Foundations of Biological Systems with focused flashcards that help you recognize the idea, recall the key rule, and apply it in practice-style prompts.

QUESTION

Identify which has larger k′k': analyte with tR=6 mint_R = 6\,\text{min} or tR=3 mint_R = 3\,\text{min} if tM=1 mint_M = 1\,\text{min}.

ANSWER

Analyte with tR=6 mint_R = 6\,\text{min} has larger k′k'. Longer retention time yields a higher capacity factor, as k′k' increases with greater (tR−tM)(t_R - t_M).
