Expert Solution
Step 1

SOLUTION:

Step 1:

The most commonly used column in silica based reverse stationary phase is octadecyl alkyl group bonded with silica (C18H37). The R groups C8, C18 and phenyl groups are used depending on the analyte and mobile phase. These alkyl groups make the column hydrophobic through covalent bonding of silica surface. These hydrophobic molecules of the mobile phase tend to adsorb to the silica stationary phase and hydrophilic molecules pass through easily and eluted first.

(a) The structure of the standard C4 group chemically bonded to silica surface through a silyl ether bond is as follows:
