Answer:
C-term
Explanation:
A correlation between plate height and mobile phase velocity is known as the van Deemter equation.
[tex]H = A + \frac{B}{u}+ C*u[/tex]
Where;
H is the plate height
A is the eddy diffusion term
B is the longitudinal diffusion term
C is the resistance to mass transfer coefficient
u is the linear velocity
Here C-term describes the mass transfer of sample components between the stationary phase and the mobile phase during separation. One of the major factor affecting C-term is the particle size, changing the diameter equally changes the particle size.
The answer is C-term
