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.

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 hexane. b) When a TLC plate was developed, the solvent front ran off the top of the plate.
Consider a sample that is a mixture composed of biphenyl, benzoic acid, and benzyl alcohol. The sample is spotted on a TLC plate and developed in a CH2C12-cyclohexane solvent mixture. Predict the relative Rf values for the three components in the sample. Would biphenyl be closest to the blotted line, then benzyl alcohol, then benzoic acid because these others are increasing in polarity to the non-polar solvent? Thanks!
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
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?
There were 2 spots on the TLC that did not match up with any of the standards. What were the Rf values of these spots? Identify what these chemical species might be and draw their structures. Solvent was 3:1:1 n-butanol/acetic acid/water. First plate is TLC plate 1. Second plate is TLC plate 2.
A thin-layer chromatography (TLC) experiement was run using three compunds: benzophenone, benzhydrol, and biphenyl. The three solvents that were used with the three compounds were hexane, ethyl acetate, and dichloromethane. Which solvent would be the best for separating these compounds and why?
In order to help identify the things in a chromatogram, you can measure the Rf value for each spot. How would you work out the Rf value for each of the spots on the chromatogram above?
If you ran an unknown sample on a TLC using 3-Methyl-Pentane as eluent and observed only one spot with a Rf value -0.05, is it safe to assume that it is a pure compound? If not, how can you check it out using TLC?
how does TLC determine if a sample is pure?
Match column A with Column B. Given: Samples were spotted on the TLC plate and after performing the experiment, the following were obtained: Component A, Rf = 0.2 B, Rf = 0.5 C, Rf = 0.8 Which is the most polar? A. Component A v Which can dissolve in water? B. Component B Which has affinity to the stationary phase? c. Component C Which has affinity to mobile phase? Which is the least polar Which can dissolve in organic compounds? v Which component is slightly hydrophobic and hydrophilic? Activa
Use a suitable model to explain how separation and identification of a mixture of organic compounds can be achieved with a thin layer chromatographic (TLC) technique.

The solubility of salicylic acid in water is 7.8g/100ml at 100°C and 0.25g/100ml at 25°. Estimate how much water is needed to recrystallize a 19g sample of salicylic acid? A) 150ml B) 250ml C) 300ml D) 400ml
