The fourth paragraph of your conclusions section should describe how thin layer chromatography could be used to monitor a reaction. Specifically, describe how you could use thin layer chromatography to determine when the reaction “oxidation of methoxybenzaldehyde to methoxybenzylalcohol" has gone to completion. Explain whether the reactant or product would have a larger Rr value, and how you could use that fact with a TLC experiment to know when the reaction is complete. The equation for the reaction is:

There were 2 spots on the TLC that did not match up with any of the standards. What were the Rf values of these spots? Identify what these chemical species might be and draw their structures. Solvent was 3:1:1 n-butanol/acetic acid/water. First plate is TLC plate 1. Second plate is TLC plate 2.
The following sentence has the format “Statement 1 BECAUSE Statement 2”. Decide whether statement 1 is true, whether statement 2 is true, and whether the REASONING (the ‘BECAUSE’ relationship) between them is valid. Statement 1 − “Cyclohexane-1,2-diol elutes from a silica gel chromatography column after cyclohexane-1,2-dione” BECAUSE Statement 2 − “Ketones stick better to silica than alcohols because the C=O group has a larger dipole than the C-OH group.” Question 6 options: A Statement 1 and Statement 2 are both correct, and the reasoning is valid. B Statement 1 and Statement 2 are both correct, but the reasoning is NOT valid. C Statement 1 is correct, but Statement 2 is NOT correct. D Statement 1 is NOT correct, but Statement 2 is correct. E Statement 1 and Statement 2 are both NOT correct

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. Theresulting precipitate was collected by…
