An orange compound, dissolved in dichloromethane, is added to a chromatogra- phy column. The elution is begun using hexane as the solvent. After 6 L of solvent was passed through the column, the orange band had still not traveled down the column appreciably. What should be done to make this experiment work better.

How to find the RF values of the inks in paper chromatography that showed separation of colors?
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.

The write-up says “A C18-silica column is used in this experiment, a 0.46 x 15 cm column with 5-µm particles. Equilibrate the column with 20 empty column volumes of 0.010 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.2) at a flow rate of 1.2 mL/min before beginning chromatography.” Show the calculation for how much mobile phase you would use (volume) and how long it will take to equilibrate the column.
