Solution Summary

The methods set-up for a chemical separation are discussed. The solution is 225 words. The reverse phase columns are given.

Solution Preview

To answer this interesting question, I think you will need to remember how the chromatography process works. I think it is desirable to have the solute particles to have some time on the column and some time in the mobile phase.

Since you are using a reversed phase column, the mobile phase will be ...
