Why does plate height depend on linear velocity, not volume flow rate?
Short Answer
The solution is
the longitudinal diffusion () is inversely proportional to the duration the solute spends on the column ().

Which column is more efficient: plate height = 0.1 mm or plate height = 1 mm?
Consider the extraction of for which (a) Derive an expression for the fraction of metal ion extracted into the organic phase, in terms of the distribution coefficient and volumes of the two phases. (b) Prepare a graph of the percentage of metal ion extracted over the pH range 0 to 5.
For the separation of A and B by column 2 in Problem 23-32:
(a) If broadening is mainly due to longitudinal diffusion, how should the flow rate be changed to improve the resolution?
(b) If broadening is mainly due to the finite equilibrium time, how should the flow rate be changed to improve the resolution?
(c) If broadening is mainly due to multiple flow paths, what effect will flow rate have on the resolution?
(a) A chromatography column with a length of 10.3 cmand inner diameter of 4.61mmis packed with a stationary phase that occupies 61.0% of the volume. If the volume flow rate is 1.13mL, find the linear velocity in cm/min.(b) How long does it take for solvent (which is the same as unretained solute) to pass through the column? (c) Find the retention time for a solute with a retention factor of 10.
When performing liquid-liquid extraction, it is common practice to shake the separatory funnel to disperse one phase into the other.
(a) Does shaking the separatory funnel change the partition coefficient?
(b) Explain the purpose of shaking the funnel.
