the time it takes for the molecule to travel through the column {Ans: retention time}mobile phase {Ans: carrier gas}An increase in the mobile phase flow rate cause a given peak to have a shorter retention time because the molecule moves quickly in the mobile phase. {Ans: In general, will an increase in mobile phase flow rate cause a given peak to have a longer or a shorter retention time? Why?}the column of the GC instrument is coated with the substance; it can be either solid or liquid {Ans: stationary phase}Mobile Phase Reservoir, Sample Injector, Stationary Phase, Detector, and Read-out {Ans: 1. Draw a block diagram of a GC instrument, labeling all the important components.}K= stationary concentration /mobile concentration {Ans: partition coefficient equation}
