Answer #1

100% ethyl aectate is highly polar. If you use it to begin with, both the componds will move together and there will be no separation.

A polar compound binds with the stationary phase which is silica. If we increase the polarity of the solvent, then the more polar compound will dissolve in it and move faster.
