Question
LC analysis are sometime performed using buffers as mobile phase to control the pH. The following table lists the
retention factors (k) for three analytes separated on a C8 non-
polar column. The mobile phase was a citrate buffer: methanol
mixture adjusted to given pHs with NH3.
a. With given structures of acetophenone, nicotine,
and salicylic acid, fill out the following table with
appropriate major species at each pH.
