A student separates colored compounds A and B (shown in grey in the figure below) using column chromatography with silica gel. Compound A is known to be more polar than compound B. The student elutes the compounds with toluene as the solvent. After 75 mL of toluene eluted through the column the following results were obtained. Please note the question is below the figure.

Need help with a and b. A mixture of 1-hexanol, hexane, and 1-chlorohexane is injected on a gas chromatography column. a) Predict the sequence of retention times indicating which compound will have the shortest, middle, and longest retention time. b) The sample vial of (a) was not carefully sealed and left partially open for a couple hours. A GC is taken again with only two peaks realized. The first peak to appear has an area of 24 mm2 and the second peak 40 mm2. What mole% of each compound (specify the compound name) is most likely present?
Next, 2.00 mL of 9.63 mM S was added to 10.00 mL of a solution of unknown concentration of X, and the mixture was diluted to 25.0mL. Chromatographic analysis of this solution produced peak areas of 4822 for X and 4099 for S. What was the concentration of 5 (in mM) of the 25.0mL solution?
