- a. Calculate the Rf value for each spot on the TLC plates below. Make sure you label which Rf belongs to which compound. Which compound corresponds to the unknown? b. Which compound corresponds to the unknown? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardPleasearrow_forwardQs4. This is a TLC analysis of 3 individual compounds. The plate was run in 20 % ethyl acetate, 80% hexane solvent mixture (eluent). Draw a schematic TLC plate for the same compounds, but when the eluent is 40% ethyl acetate, 60 % hexane. Indicate, what is the most polar and least polar compound (A, B, or C) -- A B Carrow_forward
- A thin layer chromatography experiment is planned to determine the Rf values of four compounds. List the following compounds in order of increasing Rf values from shortest to longest. (If B is shortest, then A, C, and D is longest, enter BACD )arrow_forwardWhat is the purpose of chemically staining a TLC plate using iodine vapor? To increase the Rf values of all compounds on the plate To decrease the Rf values of all compounds on the plate To visualize colorless compounds that react with iodine on the plate To spread out the Rf values of all compounds on the plate morearrow_forwardA TLC plate was run in cyclohexane:ethyl acetate 4:1, the pure product, 2 starting materials and final product were spotted. what does the tlc tell you about the product.arrow_forward
- Very confused with this. Please help.arrow_forwardQuestion is about a TLC analysis of spinach pigmentsarrow_forwardConsider a sample that is a mixture composed of biphenyl, benzoic acid, and benzyl alcohol. The sample is spotted on a TLC plate and developed in a CH2C12-cyclohexane solvent mixture. Predict the relative Rf values for the three components in the sample. Would biphenyl be closest to the blotted line, then benzyl alcohol, then benzoic acid because these others are increasing in polarity to the non-polar solvent? Thanks!arrow_forward
