Which of the following is the expression for longitudinal diffusion in the column, if ‘γ’ represents obstruction factor, ‘dM’ represents particle diameter, ‘DM’ represents Solute diffusion co-efficient and ‘λ’ represents function for packing uniformity?(a) λ dM(b) 2 γ DM(c) DM γ(d) λ/dMThe question was posed to me in a job interview.Query is from Column Efficiency and Column Resolution in division Chromatography of Analytical Instrumentation

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (b) 2 γ DM

Explanation: LONGITUDINAL diffusion is given as, B = 2 γ DM.It is ALSO called axial diffusion.
