Hey chem ppls.
I have a lab later today, and thought I understood what was going on. On further reading I am now confused.
We are extracting capsaicin using acetonitrile, and then eluting it with methanol. I thought that with reverse SPE the less polar solvent has higher eluent strength? Which would be the acetonitrile.
Can anyone explain where I am going wrong in my thoughts?
