A mixture of nonpolar compounds is separated by hplc using an octyl (–(ch2)7ch3) stationary phase covalently bonded to the silica support. how would the retention times of the compounds change if the solvent composition was changed from 55 vol% acetone and 45 vol% water to 85 vol% acetone and 15 vol% water?

Answerthe half-reaction having the greatest tendency to occur at the anode:     i₂(aq) + 2e⁻  ⇄ 2i⁻  ;   e = +0.53 v======oxidation occurs at the anode. we must therefore find the half-reaction with the greatest tendency to oxidize.the given values of e are reduction potentials (the form of the half-reactions are of reduction).the lower the reduction potential, the higher the potential to oxidize. the half-cell with the lowest reduction potential will have the greatest tendency to oxidize at the anode.the half-reaction having the greatest tendency must be    i₂(aq) + 2e⁻  ⇄ 2i⁻    e = +0.53 vbecause its reduction potential is the lowest out of the three.
