how eluent composition affects capacity factor and resolution?

how can i answer this question?

thanks alot

I assume you are discussing TLC or LC.

Changing the eluent composition affects the retention time and the resolution of analytes.

Specifics depend upon the nature of the chromatography you are using. Normal phase, reversed phase, ion exchange, etc.

These issues are discussed in any elementary textbook on chromatography.

best wishes,
