TheoryReview of PartitioningYou need to be aware of the following concepts in order to have any idea about this chapter!
Partitioning between two liquids (aqueous/organic)
Why does the analyte partition?o Dynamic Process – Constant exchange at the interfaceo Partition Coefficientso Hydrophobic and Polar Functional Groupso Ions and Solvationo Influence through pH – changes ionisation state of
molecule

DefinitionsChromatographyphysical method of separation in which the components to be separated are distributed between two phases, one of which is stationary (stationary phase) while the other (the mobile phase) moves in a definite direction.
Stationary Phaseone of the two phases forming a chromatographic system. It may be a solid, a gel or a liquid. If a liquid, it may be distributed on a solid. The liquid may also be chemically bonded to the solid (Bonded Phase) or immobilized onto it (Immobilized Phase).
Mobile Phasefluid which percolates through or along the stationary bed, in a definite direction. It may be a liquid (Liquid Chromatography) or a gas (Gas Chromatography) or a supercritical fluid (Supercritical-Fluid Chromatography). In gas chromatography the expression Carrier Gas may be used for the mobile phase. In elution chromatography the expression Eluent is also used for the mobile phase.

ChromatogramsCompound elution as a function of time
Each component is characterised by its retention time at peak maximum tr
In constant mobile phase tr can be converted into retention volume Vr
Vr = Fvtr where Fv is flow rate

Assumption:Independent on concentration, affected by temperature
Large K means more time spent on the columnTherefore:Increased elution time = Larger K
