Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The relative retention time (RRT) is defined as the ratio of the retention times of the two enantiomers, divided by the retention time of the racemate.

RRT = (t2/t1) / (trac/t1) = t2/trac

In this case, t2/trac = 4.80/2.89 = 1.66, which is closest to option C. Therefore, the best choice is C.
