A molecular exclusion column has a diameter of 7.8 mm and a length of 30 cm. The solid portion of the particles occupies 20% of the volume, the pores occupy 40%, and the volume between particles occupies 40%. (a) At what volume would totally excluded molecules be expected to emerge? (b) At what volume would the smallest molecules be expected? (c) A mixture of polymers of various molecular masses is eluted between 23 and 27 mL. What does this imply about the retention mechanism for these solutes on the column?
