Consider the TLC chromatogram shown below This is the developed TLC plate obtained by a student after spotting three (3) different compounds in each lane and running the TLC using a 70:30 hexane:ethyl acetate mobile phase. Which of the following can help the student improve his/her TLC analysis? Select all that apply. (Note: ethyl acetate is more polar than hexane) A. Increase the polarity of the mobile phase to achieve better separation. B. Decrease the amount of hexane and increase the amount of ethyl acetate in the mobile phase. C. Use 100% hexane as the mobile phase to achieve better separation. D. Decrease the polarity of the mobile phase since the compounds are relatively non-polar. E. The compounds are impure. Further recrystallization is needed.

QUESTION 5 In a chromatographic separation using a polar stationary phase and a mobile phase composed of 60% hexane and 40% ethyl acetate, two compounds, benzene (peak A) and toluene (peak B), are eluted. The width of peak A at its base is 1.2 min, the width of peak B at its base is 1.3 min, and the retention time of peak A is 5.2 min and peak B is 3.5 min. What is the resolution (Rs) between these two peaks and is it acceptable? R = 1.36. It is not an acceptable resolution. R = 0.74. It is an acceptable resolution. R = 1.36. It is an acceptable resolution. R = 0.74. It is not an acceptable resolution.

Which is correct? Random errors affect accuracy and systematic errors affect precision. An accurate result shows agreement with the true or accepted value. Precise results can contain significant random error, but little systematic error. The standard deviation is a good measure of accuracy. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stationary phases have low polarities. Which of the following statements is TRUE about gas chromatography using PDMS stationary phases? The gas chromatography column is typically packed with silica microparticles.

A young researcher set out to develop a method for quantifying the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) content in a contaminated soil sample using open tubular gas chromatography. During the initial stages of method development, the researcher was unable to separate the early eluting compounds, anthracene and naphthalene, with baseline resolution. Select the possible modifications the researcher could make to improve the resolution. use a column with a smaller inner diameter decrease the column length increase the stationary phase thickness increase the temperature choose a different stationary phase
Based on TLC, how can you tell if the reaction is complete and what is the relevvance of the multiple marks in the lanes of the tlc? PROCEDURE To a six inch test tube was added thiamine hydrochloride (0.65 g), followed by water (2mL). The mixture was gently shaken until homogeneous, and then ethanol (7.5 mL)was added. Finally, sodium hydroxide (10%, 1.5 mL) was added and the mixture wasgently stirred to ensure complete mixing.Benzaldehyde (3.8 mL) was then added at room temperature in one portion with gentlestirring. The pH of the resulting reaction mixture was determined and adjusted to >10by dropwise addition of 10% sodium hydroxide. The reaction mixture was then partiallysubmerged in a 65 °C water bath2 and the progress of the reaction was periodicallymonitored by TLC analysis.Once TLC analysis indicated that the reaction was complete, the reaction mixture wascooled to approximately room temperature, and then chilled in an ice-water bath.
