Briefly explain what you would expect the result to be of the following scenario: You have two compounds that you have spotted on the TLC plate. One compound is more polar than the other. You ran the TLC plate with neat hexanes and found that only one spot moved a small distance up the plate. What might you expect to see if you ran a TLC plate in a 50/50 mixture of hexanes and ethyl acetate? What would the spots do?

Arrange the following solvents in order of increasing polarity (least polar to most polar): Propyl Amine – Diethyl Ether – Ethyl Acetate- Octane If you ran an unknown sample on a TLC and observed only one spot with a Rf value of 0.95, is it safe to assume that it is a pure compound? If not, how can you check it out using TLC?
Chemistry 1)Arrange the following in order of increasing Rf in TLC? 3-pentanone, 3-pentanol,pentane.2) If all your Rfs were too large, what would you do to your solvent system to bring themdown?• What solvent(s) would you try next?3) What would happen if you spotted too much compound on your TLC plate?4) One of the compounds we are examining today has a chiral center.• Which one has a chiral center?• Identify it.
Consider the following errors that could be made when running TLC. Indicate what should be done to correct the error.a. A two-component mixture containing 1-octene and 1,4-dimethylbenzene gave only one spot with an Rf value of 0.95. The solvent used was acetone.b. A two-component mixture containing a dicarboxylic acid and tricarboxylic acid gave only one spot with an Rf value of 0.05. The solvent used was hexane.c. When a TLC plate was developed, the solvent front ran off the top of the plate.
Whagt is the purpose of the following? Separate the active ingredients in an unknown over the counter analgesic using TLC (thin layer chromatography). Make a preliminary identification of each active ingredient in an unknown tablet by comparing its Rf value(s) with the Rf values of four different known active ingredients:
In what order would the following compounds be eluted on a silica gel TLC plate if they are spotted on the same plate and developed in a solvent mixture of 10:1 hexanes:ethyl acetate A. 1 has the highest Rf value, then 2 then 4 then 3 b. 4 has the highest Rf value, then 1 then 3 then 2 c. 3 has the highest Rf value, then 2 then 1 then 4 d. 2 has the highest Rf value, then 3 then 1 then 4
Consider this TLC. 1. Which dye is the most polar? 2. Which dye is the least polar? the answers might be a. blue 1 b. red 3 c. yellow 5 d. it cannot be determined from this TLC
Which of the two compounds shown is more polar? Which of the two compounds would have the highest Rf value on a silica gel TLC plate? Calculate the Rf value for the spot shown in lane 5. Give your answer to two decimal places (0.12). The distance measurements start at the origin. The TLC plate shows? 1. the conversion of benzophenone to benzhydrol 2. the destruction of both benzophenone and benzhydrol from the sample 3. the conversion of benzhydrol to benzophenone
if you wanted to makes the spots travel up the TLC plate further, what solvent ration would you choose and why? 1:2 Ethyl acetate/Hexane, 2:3 Ethyl acetate/ Hexane, or 1:1 Ethyl acetate/Hexane
In what order would Glycerol, Sodium Oleate, Sodium Linoleate, Sodium Palmitate, Sodium Stearate, and Sodium Palmitoleate be on a TLC plate? I know Gylcerol is the most polar of the bunch therefore would be on the bottom, but the rest i'm not sure of, please order from bottom of the TLC plate to the top.
How would the results of the TLC experiment, spotting 2-napthol with the unknown solution (most likey 2-napthol) change if instead of sililica gel a TLC plate had C18 wax (basically a 18-carbon alkane) as the stationary phase?
Pretending that you got the following TLCC result, is the extraction that gave the TLC plate in the picture successful or not? Explain
Every spot on a student's TLC plate has an Rf value from 0.1 to 0.2. The student used a 10% ethyl acetate 920%0% pentane mixture as the eluting solvent. What composition might yield better Rf values for separating the compounds? 100% pentane 5% ethyl acetate and 95% pentane 20% ethyl acetate and 80% pentane
