When using normal phase TLC for the separation of benzoic acid and
salicylic acid, which compound would produce a larger Rf value and
why? What would happen to the Rf values if
the solvent polarity were increased?
When using normal phase TLC for the separation of benzoic acid and salicylic acid, which compound...
In normal phase TLC, will benzoic acid or acetophenone have a higher Rf value? Please explain why your chosen compound has the highest Rf.
1. A mixture containing Compound X and Compound Y is analyzed using silica gel TLC. a. If Compound X has an Rf value of 0.7 and Compound Y has an Rvalue of 0.3, which compound is more polar? Explain. b. The solvent traveled 50 mm. How far did Compound Y travel? 2. Why isn't it reasonable for an R. value to be greater than 1? 3. How many spots would you expect to see if you conducted a TLC separation...
For TLC plate separation, why do we use Rf values instead of distance measurements (e.g. the spot travelled 5 cm from the starting line)? What would happen if we compared solvent systems using distances rather than Rf values?
2. A solution containing a mixture of naphthalene, benzoic acid, and benzaldehyde is analyzed via TLC and GC. Use the structures and properties of the compounds to aid in answering the following questions. A. In the TLC experiment, the mixture is spotted on a silica TLC plate and eluted with a 1:1 mixture of hexanes and ethyl acetate. Three spots are observed on the plate, with Re values of 0.25, 0.58, and 0.74. Indicate which spot corresponds to which compound....
1. When separating mixtures using TLC, why is it important to choose a solvent (mobile phase) that has a different polarity than the TLC plate (stationary phase)? 2. Why will some substances in a mixture travel farther up the TLC plate than others?
3. If the TLC plate development had stopped before the solvent front reached the top of the TLC plate (i.e. maybe it reached the middle of the TLC plate when it was stopped, instead): a) Would the Rf values have been affected? If so, how? If not, why not? Give a numerical example to support your answer. b) Would the size of the spots have been affected? If so, how? If not, why not? (Hint: think about the diffusion of...
Which compound would have the higher Rf value- Cholesterol or Cholesterol Stearate? Explain why (TLC analysis, Polarity, etc).
Which compound is likely to have the highest Rf value on silica gel TLC? Group of answer choices A) Benzoic Acid B) Dimethylaniline C) Benzophenone D) They will all have the same Rf value.
4. Consider the following silica gel TLC plac or compounds A, B, and hexines: developed in Fo-o- og a) Determine the Rr values of compounds A, B, and C run on a silica gel TLC plate using hexanes as the solvent b) Which compound, A, B, or C. is the most polar? values if you used acetone instead c) What would you expect to happen to the of hexanes as the eluting solvent? 5) Consider a sample that is a...
QUESTION 4 Benzoic acid, salicylic acid, and acetyl salicylic acid have a functional group called Phenol and salicylic acid have a functional group called Acetyl salicylic acid is the only compound with an QUESTION 5 If 1.57 g of salicylic acid (MW = 138.121 g/mol) and 6.9 mL of acetic anhydride (MW = 102.09 g/mol; d = 1.08 g/mL) was used to synthesize aspirin (MW = 180.2 g/mol). How many mols of salicylic acid were used? (Answer to the ten...
