← ScienceWhich behavior in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) results when the stationary phase’s interaction potential weakens?
A)Increased analyte elution velocity✓
B)Decreased baseline signal stability
C)Increased stationary phase saturation
D)Decreased mobile phase constant viscosity
💡 Explanation
Increased analyte elution velocity occurs because reduced interaction potential weakens the interaction between the analyte and the stationary phase, impacting retention. As a result, the analyte spends less time interacting and elutes faster, therefore elution velocity increases, rather than changes in viscosity or saturation.
