HPLC Retention Calculator

HPLC Retention Calculator — calculate hplc retention using standard chemistry formulas. Worked example with units.

Stoichiometry formulas

Moles from mass: n = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol)

Molar ratio conversion: moles of product = moles of reactant × (coefficient of product / coefficient of reactant)

Theoretical yield: mass of product = moles of product × molar mass of product

Percent yield: % yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) × 100

Limiting reagent: the reactant that, when fully consumed, produces the least product
