Let's say that you found the perfect eluent for separating benzoic acid and naphthalene on a silica gel TLC plate. Which compound would have the higher Revalue after you eluted the plate? (Hint: look up the structures for both of these compounds). O A. It cannot be determined with the given information. O B. Benzoic Acid O C. Neither. They would have the same Rf value. O D. Naphthalene
