1. You were fortunate to use a pre-packed column in this experiment. List two methods you could use to pack a column should you ever need to do it yourself. 2. Each of the following could lead to poor liquid chromatographic separation. Explain how or why each one would decrease the separation of two molecules. a. collection of large elution fractions b. very slow flow rate of mobile phase c. too weak of an adsorbent 3. When 2-propanol was used as the developing solvent, two substances moved with the solvent front (R₁ = 1) during TLC analysis on a silica gel plate. Can you conclude that the two compounds are identical? If not, what additional TLC experiment(s) would you perform to investigate further?

THIN LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY IS A (LIQUID LIQUID) PARTITION TECHNIQUE SIMILAR TO COLUMN CHROMATOGRAPHY. * I Said liquid liquid but that is wrong. It was fill in the blank. I got the column part right. Thanks!
