In an experiment of Reverse Phase chromatography using C-18 stationary phase and a mixture of methanol/ethyl acetate/acetic acid, a researcher tried to separate the 3 compounds shown below. Which compound would have the lowest Rf and which the highest Rf in this experiment? Explain your answer and show any relevant structures.
A peak with a retention time of 10 minutes has a width at half-height of 7.6 s neighboring peak is eluted 15 s later with W1⁄2 = 7.5 s. (a) Find out the resolution for these two components. (b) Is this resolution value good for quantitative analysis, why?
TLC was used to compare the solubility of two compounds A and B in a solvent system (acetic acid, methanol, H2O). The distances that solvent has moved in the silica gel TLC was 12 cm. and for the compounds were 2 and 8 cm respectively. (a) Calculate the Rf values and which compound is more soluble and which one is more polar. (b) What are the factors affecting the Rf value
One of the main differences between TLC and column chromatography is the direction in which the mobile phase moves. Group of answer choices True False
