1. In thin layer chromatography (TLC), why do you need to use a pencil in marking the spots, origin, and solvent front and not a marker? 2. Why is it necessary to mark the solvent front immediately? 3. Why do you need to ensure that the loading spot is above the solvent level in paper chromatography? 4. Why do different compounds travel different distances on the piece of paper?
