If the classification of the chromatography run is a reverse-phase chromatography, discuss the relative polarities of caffeine, aspartame and benzoate.

When a mixture of three compounds ( is purified by column chromatography using different concentrations of solvents, the following is observed. 1) 50 ml 100 % Hexane-compound 1 elutes 2) 50 ml 20: 80 ether: hexane- compound 2 elutes 3) 100 % ether- compound 3 elutes based on the observations above, choose all the correct statements O compound 3 retains least on the column and is the least polar. O compound 2 is most likely a hydroxyl compound( 2 naphthol) and is somewhat polar O compound 1 retains longest on the column. and is the most polar O compound 1 is most likely a neutral compound (e.g. naphthalene), and is almost non polar O compound 3 is most likely a carboxylic acid like compound ( benzoic acid), and is very polar O compound 2 retains on the column more than 1 but less than 3 because it is a neutral compound.
