An HPLC column of length 15cm and ID of 4.6mm is tightly packed with monodisperse ODS paritcles of diameter 3:m surface area 300m/g^2 and density 1.2g/mL. Dead volume is 1.2mL. Assuming that the particles are tightly packed and that the void volume is essentially due to the pore volumes of the particles, calculate:
1. the #of ODS particles in the column
2. the weight in grams of the ODS needed to obtain a
tight packing
3. the mass ingrams of each ODS particle
4. the pore volume of each ODS particle
