Answer #1

Hexane is the least polar solvent so it would separat the least polar compound,

70/30 (hexane/ethyl acetate) is used to separate an average polar compound.

95/5 (CH​​​​​​​​​​2Cl2/ MeOH) is used to separate the most polar compound.

Note: Since the structure for the 3 ferrocenes are not given, so cannot predict which solvent system would separate which ferrocene.
