2. Thin layer chromatography was performed to find the most effective mobile phase needed to separate a mixture containing three compounds (using silica gel as the stationary phase). TLC analyses were performed using five different mobile phases: (A) pure petroleum ether; (B) 25:75 ethyl acetate:petroleum ether; (c) 50:50 ethyl acetate:petroleum ether (D) 75:25 ethyl acetate:petroleum ether; and (E) pure ethyl acetate. Using the TLC results provided, indicate whether an effective separation was achieved for each of the five mobile phases.
