Abstract
As mentioned in chapter 3.32, the calculation of the “air peak” time utilizes the known fact that a straight-line relationship exists between the logarithm of the adjusted retention time and the number of carbon atoms in a homologous series:
where n c is the chain length (carbon number) of the homolog, t R is its retention time (measured from the point of injection), t′ R is the adjusted retention time (measured from the “air peak”), t M is the retention time of an inert substance (usually air), m and q are constants.
