4) sketch what a developed and resolved TLC plate of a mixture of benzil, benzoin and hydrobenzoin might look like. Discuss the relative Rf values on your sketched plate 5) In the reduction of benzil with sodium borohydride, 3 compounds are possible: meso-hydrobenzoin, racemic-hydrobenzoin and racemic-benzoin (resulting from incomplete reduction of benzil). Discuss how you determined (or will go about determining) which of these products was produced. Discuss evidence from melting points, TLC and IR spectra.

Which one of the following aqueous solutions would you expect to have the largest conductance: (a) 0.050 M NaCl, (b) 0.050 M Na2SO4, or (c) 0.050 M Na3PO4? Explain your reasoning.
1. a) Why does biphenyl have a higher Rf value than either benzophenone or triphenylmethanol? Explain based on the structures and their effect on mobility in the TLC process. b) Which compound, benzophenone or triphenylmethanol has a higher Rf value? Explain, based on their structures, how you can predict this. c) You developed your TLC using a 10% mixture of diethyl ether in petroleum ether. Petroleum ether is a mixture of non-polar alkanes, so this TLC solvent is composed of...
Post lab Exp 10: Preparation of benzil from benzoin Place 1 g of benzoin and 3 mL of concentrated nitric acid in a 50 mL beaker. Heat the mixture on a water bath for 15 minutes. At the end of this time, add 30 mL of cold water to the reaction mixture. Cooling the reaction mixture in ice-water bath will cause crystallization. Vacuum filter the product. Press the crystal gently with a clean glass stopper to remove as much of...
