Applicability of a solution model, namely the Jouyban-Acree model, for mathematical representation of capacity factors of phenobarbital, phenytoin and carbamazepine in mobile phases containing water and the organic modifiers: methanol, acetonitrile, acetone and tetrahydrofuran and also a number of data sets collected from the literature has been shown. The accuracy of the proposed model is compared with those of the linear model and the quadratic equation using average percentage deviation (APD) as an accuracy criterion. The obtained mean and standard deviation of APDs of the Jouyban-Acree, linear and quadratic models are 8.1 +/- 8.4, 25.2 +/- 18.0 and 14.5 +/- 16.2%, respectively. The results showed that the Jouyban-Acree model provided more accurate calculations than the previously published models and the mean differences were statistically significant (p < 0.002).
