An ideal RF value for a compound on a developed TLC plate is 0.30. How could you adjust the TLC developing conditions to obtain an RF of 0.30 if it's too low or too high (Hint: Think about chromatography phases).

A standard sample of compound A was placed on a silica TLC plate. After elution in 30/70 ethyl acetate/hexane, the sample showed a single spot at 3.4 cm (relative to the initial point) after the solvent had risen to 7.1 cm (relative to the initial point). A sample which was thought to contain this compound was analyzed by TLC and showed two spots after elution in the same solvent system. The solvent height for this plate was 6.5 cm (relative to the initial point) and the spots were located at 3.6 cm and 5.2 cm (relative to the initial point). Can either of these spots possibly be compound A? Explain. Include a discussion of the R, for each spot.

Consider the following errors that could be made when running TLC. Indicate what should be done to correct the error. a) A two-component mixture containing 1-octene and 1, 4-dimethylbenzene gave only one spot with an Rf value of 0.95. The solvent used was hexane. b) When a TLC plate was developed, the solvent front ran off the top of the plate.
