(a)
Interpretation:
The reason for fluorene to elute first from the column in the experiment mentioned in the question needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The method of separation of components of the mixture is done by column chromatography techniques. This method is used to isolate the large number of components. The movement of solvent molecules in the thin layer chromatography takes place from bottom to top but in the column chromatography, the movement of mobile phase takes place from top to bottom in the column.
(b)
Interpretation:
The reason of changing the solvent in the middle of the column procedureneeds to be explained.

- A student properly sets up a column chromatography experiment. Although the mixture is soluble in the mobile phase, the sample appears "stuck" at the top of the column and will not elute regardless of how much solvent is applied. What could be the cause of this problem and what could the student do to try and achieve a successful separation?arrow_forwardThis experiment is about column chromatography of fluorenone. Complete the tablearrow_forwardPreparing a Thin Layer Chromatography experiment there are some common mistakes. Explain what happens in this situation: The solvent is above the line where the sample spots arearrow_forward
- Which of the following is TRUE for a reversed phase chromatography experiment? i. Less polar compounds will have lower retention factors. ii. Polar compounds will have greater interaction with the stationary phase than with the mobile phase iii. Using non-polar solvents will hasten the rate of separation of the components in the samplearrow_forwardWhat is the objective of the Separation Technique: Paper Chromatography ?arrow_forwardBased on the thin layer chromatography experiment what should be considered when choosing the right solvent?arrow_forward
- Question: What is the effect of column temperature on the separation and elution of volatile compounds in gas chromatography?arrow_forwardSuppose I were doing column chromatography with a column that could be stopped (it has a stopcock). How would my separation be affected if I started my column chromatography, and allowed my compounds to travel three-quarters down the column…but then I decided to wait a week to complete the separation?arrow_forwardWhat is more effective, column chromatography or recrystalization?arrow_forward
