In the table below, record the color that you observe for each spot or component of each spot after the run is completed. For the retention factor, R₁, write in the numerator (top) the number of mm that the spot has moved and in the denominator (bottom) the number of mm that the solvent has moved from the point where the samples were 'spotted. Calculate the Rf vale for each spot or component of each spot. Im having a difficult time finding the Retention Factor for M&Ms by using Salt water and seeing how much each color moves Instructions Coffee filters usually are round, but it's easier to compare your results if the paper is rectangular. So, your first task is to cut the coffee filter into a rectangle. Measure and cut a 2-3/4" by 7" strip from the middle of a coffee filter. This is easily done by folding the filter in half (to make a half-circle) and then folding the half-circle into thirds. Cut along the 13-fold lines and trim the ends to make a rectangle. 2.

2. Thin layer chromatography was performed to find the most effective mobile phase needed to separate a mixture containing three compounds (using silica gel as the stationary phase). TLC analyses were performed using five different mobile phases: (A) pure petroleum ether; (B) 25:75 ethyl acetate:petroleum ether; (c) 50:50 ethyl acetate:petroleum ether (D) 75:25 ethyl acetate:petroleum ether; and (E) pure ethyl acetate. Using the TLC results provided, indicate whether an effective separation was achieved for each of the five mobile phases. Be sure to provide a brief explanation for your answer and identify which mobile phase(s) could be used to offer an effective separation of this mixture using column chromatography. A D E
