During the TLC plate you notice all of the spots remain on the baseline. What is the problem and how would you fix it?
If all the spots remained on baseline , this indicates that the solubility of spots in the developing solvent (eluent) is zero and spots aren't mixing within eluent(mobile phase) at all .
To fix this problem we have to change the mobile phase solvent with opposite polarity new solvent .

A TLC plate was run in 1:1 ethyl acetate and hexane, but when developed the plate only showed baseline spots. What change could be made to get the spot(s) to move further up the plate? -Spot a new plate and run again in the same solvent system -Spot a new plate and run in neat hexane -Spot a new plate and run in 1:2 ethyl acetate/hexane -Spot a new plate and run in 2:1 ethyl acetate/hexane
