The elution strength of a mixture can be calculated as:
Where ε are the elution strengths and x are the volume fractions of the components.
We need to calcultate the x of hexane and ethanol to get a mixture with ε = 0.3. We have these two equations:
And:
We combine these:
And:
Since we want to prepare 200 mL, this means we have to add:
