Caffeine and ibuprofen in a pain reliever tablet were separated and quantified by liquid chromatography. A 1.065 g
tablet was dissolved in 1.000 L water. A 50uL portion was injected by syringe into the instrument. The separations
column was 300 mm long, 6 mm diameter, and the flow rate was 1.2 mL/min. A good chromatograph was observed with
well resolved bands. What size column and flow rate should be used to obtain a similar separation from a 1.0 mL portion
of the same sample?

During a liquid chromatography lab, caffeine and theophylline
were separated into an octadecyl silica column (C18) with a mobile
phase consisting of a mixture of water and methanol.
What is the elution scheme?
b) Reason with current theory as background what is expected to happen
the retention factors in case:
- the methanol content in the mobile phase is increased?
- the flow rate is increased?
- the column is replaced with one consisting of octyl silica (C8)?
- switching...
