You and another student were each given an unknown compound. Both samples contained colorless material. You each used the same brand of commercially prepared TLC plate and developed the plates using the same solvent. Each of you obtained a single spot of Rf = 0.75.

Based on the following Rf values from TLC, explain the similarities and differences between Crude 1 & 2. Why is it important to compare the crudes with standard compounds?
True or False: Rf values can be used to identify pure compounds, provided that the analysis of the unknown is run simultaneously with the known compound in the same TLC plate.
