Capacity Factor given Retention Volume and Unretained Volume Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Capacity Factor of the Compound = (Retention Volume-Unretained Mobile Phase Volume)/Unretained Mobile Phase Volume
k^'compound = (V_R-V_m)/V_m
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Capacity Factor of the Compound - The Capacity factor of the Compound is directly proportional to the retention factor. The longer a component is retained by the column, the greater is the capacity factor.
Retention Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - The Retention Volume is defined as the volume of the mobile phase required to elute the solute from the column.
Unretained Mobile Phase Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - The Unretained mobile phase volume is the amount of solute that travels through the column in the minimum possible time.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Retention Volume: 11.2 Liter --> 0.0112 Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
Unretained Mobile Phase Volume: 4.1 Liter --> 0.0041 Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

k^'compound = (V_R-V_m)/V_m --> (0.0112-0.0041)/0.0041

Evaluating ... ...

k^'compound = 1.73170731707317

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.73170731707317 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.73170731707317 ≈ 1.731707 <-- Capacity Factor of the Compound
