•Can define specific retention volume (Vg)
•
•                      VRo – VMo      273
•             Vg = --------------- x -------
•                           W               Tc
•
•Where W = mass of stationary phase
•            Tc = column temp. (oK)
•
•            VRo = j tR F          VMo = j tM F
•
•Can relate Vg to K (partition ratio)
•
•                   K      273               W
•          Vg = ---- x -------     rs = ------
