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 student researcher performed a chromatographic separation of caffeine and aspartame. The retention time for caffeine, te, was
found to be 200.8 s with a baseline peak width, we, of 16.1 s. The retention time for aspartame, ta, was 258.7 s with a baseline
peak width, wa, of 20.6 s. The retention time for the unretained solvent methanol was 44.2 s.
