Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:The reason for a mixture containing a highly sensitive component to acidic conditions to be subjected to a TLC analysis in which silica gel serves as the stationary phase should be explained.

Concept introduction:Thin Layer Chromatography is a sensitive chromatographic technique which used to analyze small quantities of the samples by solid-liquid adsorption method. Rectangular glass plate is coated with an adsorbent; sample to be analyzed is run on the plate in the developing chamber with the mobile phase to give spots of the analyzed sample.

In color chromatography of plant pigments, what complications would a dried-out column (solvent level is below the top of the silica) introduce to the elution and isolation of pigments?
More polar molecules move more slowly through silica than less polar molecules. Why is silica gel chromatography a good method of separating methyl orange from biphenyl?
Column chromatography is also very useful for separating mixtures of organic compounds that are not coloured. Briefly explain how you could use column chromatography for the separation of a colourless mixture, and how you could identify your separated compounds.
