(c) Polar solutes were separated by hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) with a strongly polar bonded phase. How would retention times be affected if eluent were changed from 80 vol% to 90 vol% acetonitrile in water?

(d) Polar solutes were separated by normal-phase chromatography on bare silica using methyl '-butyl ether and 2-propanol solvent. How would retention times be affected if eluent were changed from 40 vol% to 60 vol% 2-propanol? (Hint: See la..12.l.g-2.i.:A.)

Answer:

(c) The retention time would be higher (d) The retention time would be lower.

Explanation:

For the polar solutes which were separated using the hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) with a strongly polar bonded phase, the retention time would be higher if eluent were changed from 80 vol% to 90 vol% acetonitrile in water.

However, for the polar solutes which were separated using the normal-phase chromatography on bare silica with methyl t=butyl ether and 2-propanol solvent, the retention time would be lower if the eluent were changed from 40 vol% to 60 vol% 2-propanol.
