TLC was used to compare the solubility of two compounds A and B in a solvent system (acetic acid, methanol, H2O). The distances that solvent has moved in the silica gel TLC was 12 cm. and for the compounds were 2 and 8 cm respectively. (a) Calculate the Rf values and which compound is more soluble and which one is more polar. (b) What are the factors affecting the Rf value

a) What would you see if you ran a Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) on a mixture of the three solids shown below using silica gel as the stationary phase and ethyl acetate/hexanes as the mobile phase? Whichsolid would have the highest Rf and which would have the lowest Rf? Explain b) Would changing the mobile phase (from part a) and increasing thepolarity by introducing small amount of methanol to the mobile phase change the order ofRf of the above 3 compounds?
