2) TLC and column chromatography
2.
Thin layer chromatography (TLC) and column chromatography are used to separate mixture to its pure components. A mixture is composed of several organic compounds. When the mixture is passed through the column or run on a TLC plate, the compounds in the mixture depending on their polarity interact differently with the stationary phase of the TLC plate or the column. Depending on the interactions, different compounds in the mixture move at a different pace and come out of the column or move up the TLC plate.
3.
The basis is the polarity of the different organic compounds in the mixture and the polarity of the stationary phase. For a polar stationary phase (i.e the polar adsorbent material on the plate), the polar compounds move up the plate much slower than the non-polar compounds. The polar compounds move slower because of the dipole-dipole intermolecular interaction between the polar compounds and polar stationary phase. Hence, two or more compounds show different Rf values.
Hi can someone help me with my pre lab theory questions (1,2,3)
on rate of elution or Rf? Here is some background below. Please
help explain as many as possible (1-3)! I dont really get the
relation ships in this lab, thank you!
1. What factors affect the rate of elution in organic compounds? 2. Explain what is the relationship between polarities of compounds (polar/non- polar compound) and rate of elution (Rf). 3. Explain what is the relationship between solvent...
2. An unknown compound was analyzed using thin layer chromatography, its constituted of two components (A and B) as shown in the TLC (Silica coated stationary phase; Chloroform and Ethyl acetate as mobile phase). The mixture was then loaded onto column with silica as the stationary phase and the same solvent system was used. (2 points) Column Chromatography TLC time A В Predict the order of elution of the compounds (A and B). which one would be eluted first/last and...
I need help with my pre and post lab questions.
The three compounds below were spotted on a TLC plate and developed to give the TLC plate shown. Which compound corresponds to which spot? Calculate the Rf value for spot B in the TLC plate shown above. When using polarity to determine the relative rates at which organic compounds travel up the TLC plate, we are considering compounds of similar molecular weight. It should also be noted that Rf values...
Please help
2. Consider the TLC plate shown below that was done on silica gel using a solvent mixture of 4:1 hexane/EtoAc as the eluent. 4:1 Hexane:EtOAC marked solvent front Spot B Spot A A origin (a) Which of the two organic compounds labeled A and B is less polar? (b) Calculate the Rf value of compound B. (c) How would the following changes affect the Rf values of A and B? i. Change to a more polar solvent mixture...
Can someone please help me out with the Rf value
PLEASE!!
Thin Layer Chromatography Procedures 1) Prepare a solvent solution in a 150 mL beaker by using 5 mL of Hexane and 3 mL of ethyl acetate Take one plate and spot (small spots) it with the three different standard solutions given. The standard solutions are 2-nitroaniline, 3-nitroaniline, and 4-nitroaniline. The fourth spot will be the unknown sample obtained. 2) 3) Align these spots at 1 cm from the bottom...
Attached is the lab experiment. Here are the questions I need
help with:
1. What is the purpose of each of the following steps in this
experiment?
a. Adding solid NaCl to the reaction mixture
b. Repeated washings with water, sat'd NAHCO3, and brine
c. the pipet column chromatography
2. Which compound, cyclohexanol or cyclohexanone will have a
higher Rf on a TLC plate?
3. What is the advantage of using sodium hypochlorite as an
oxidant over CrO3 or Na2Cr2O7...
Hello, I need help understanding a lab we are doing in class tomorrow. I need to know which is the "ORGANIC LAYER" ... we are using a separatory funnel, and I would like to know whether the organic layer will be on top or on the bottom. This is in order for me to correctly carry out the experiment. The lab is similar to this one I found online, and its very vague for me as to what is the...
Didn't post this right the first time. Here is everything in
full!
Need help with Organic Chemistry, understanding the labs.
1. Soon you will synthesize the analgesic acetanilide in lab. It's me is 114°C. What does it indicate about your product if you obtain a mn of 103 - 112°C. Explain. acetanilide YO 2. Neither aniline nor nitrobenzene is particularly water soluble. However, one is completely soluble in dilute aqueous HCI. Which one is soluble, and explain why? (For maximum...

HW #3 for Chem 318 Due: April 29, 2019 1. Solute A has a K 2.5 for an extraction between water (phase 1) and chloroform (phase 2). If 100 mL of a 0.01 fraction will be extracted? For the same solute and, what fraction will be extracted if 5 extractions wi 80 mL chloroform each are used (instead of one 400 ml extraction)? M solution containing solute A in water is extracted one time with...
if applicacable, please write clear stepwise mechanism for all
synthetic transformations, showing important internediates where
appropriate. only do this if applicable for this lab.
Experiment SD Column Chromatography Running the Reaction. Once sodium borohydride has been added to the reaction meture Isee next paragraph take samples at the times just indicated. Because this must be done in such a short time you must be well prepared before starting the reaction. One person should be the timekeeper, and the other person...
