Thin Layer Chromatography: One spot with an RF of .62 is observed after you develop the...
2. The diagram below shows the results of a simple thin layer chromatography experiment. height reached by the solvent the "solvent font a) Describe briefly, but precisely, what you would have done in order to get to this stage. You can assume that you have been given a suitable thin layer chromatography plate. b) Why is there a cover on the beaker? c) In order to help identify the things in a chromatogram, you can measure the Rf value for...
1) Calculate the Rf value of a spot that travels 5.7 cm, with a solvent front that travels 13 cm. 2) A student spots an unknown sample on a TLC plate and develops it in pentane solvent. Only one spot, for which the Rf value is 0.05, is observed. Is the unknown material a pure compound? What can be done to verify the purity of the sample using thin-layer chromatography? 3) You try to synthesize n-hexyl bromide as a product...
In thin layer chromatography, would a more polar solvent increase or decrease the Rf values. Explain your answer by referring to TLC theory (stationary phase, moving phase, polarity...)
In Thin Layer Chromatography Experiments, would a more polar compound give a smaller or larger Rf value then a less polar compound? Explain your answer by referring to TLC theory (stationary phase, moving phase, polarity). Thanks!
Case C Thin Layer Chromatography 1. TOXI-LAB is a screening method that uses: chromatography (column / planar) The first step consists of the extraction of drug metabolites from biological fluids when we place the sample in a test tube containing a mixture of solvents and buffering salts that cause the extraction of basic and neutral drugs. The solvent extract of the sample is concentrated by heat and evaporation, then is deposited onto a small disc of chromatographic media (small circle...
Thin layer chromatography is used for (select all that apply) 1. following the course of a reaction. 2. determining the number of compounds in a mixture. , helping to establish if two compounds have identical retention times under the same TLC conditions. 4. determining the melting point of a solid sample. determining the number and types of bonds present in a compound.
Thin layer chromatography was performed on an unknown substance. The substance separated into two spots: A AND B. Spot A travelled 3.85 cm and Spot B travelled 5.98cm. The colvent travelled 7.54 cm. 1.) Which of the two components (A or B) was more attracted to the stationary phase? Explain 2.) Calculate the Rf and of A and B. (show work) 3.) An analysis on an unknown showed one spot with an Rf of 0.52. Which component was the unknown,...
11. Why should you use pencil instead of pen when marking on a thin layer chromatography plate? a. Pencil lead isn't as dark. b. The components of pen ink will separate along with your sample, while pencil lead will not. c. Pen ink will not mark on a TLC plate. d. Pen ink will undergo a chemical reaction with the solvent. 12. Which of the following is not a reason to use thin-layer chromatography? a. To determine the number of...
A chemist runs a thin–layer chromatography (TLC) plate and, after development, forgets to mark the solvent front. The chemist doesn\'t realize this until the solvent has evaporated. Assuming that accurate Rf values are needed, select the correct course of action for the chemist. a. Assume that the solvent front is at the top of the plate. b. Dip the plate in phosphomolybdic acid (PMA) and heat the plate with a heat gun. c. Run the TLC analysis of these samples...
Problem 1 Thin layer Chromatography consist of three parts: The analyte, the stationary phase and mobile phase. Match each of these terms to what is was in out experiment. Stationary Phase ____ a) The solvent Mobile Phase ____ b) Silica Analyte ____ c) One of the analgesiscs Problem 2 Complete the sentences Analytes on a TLC should have a(n) _________ Rf in a less polar solvent. Analytes on a TLC should have a(n) _________ Rf in a more polar solvent....
