Answer #1

Reversed-phase HPLC- the order of elution is opposite to that in a normal-phase separation, with more polar solutes elute first. polarity rankis below

Amide > Acid > Alcohol > Ketone ~ Aldehyde > Amine > Ester > Ether > Alkane

in our case we have Benzioc acid > Benzyl alcohol > Acetophenone ~ Benzaldehyde

In reversed-phase chromatography using Polar (aq) mobile phase,hydrophobic (water repelent) molecules in the polar mobile phase tend to adsorb to the hydrophobic stationary phase, and hydrophilic (water lover) molecules in the mobile phase will pass through the column and are eluted first.i.e Mobile phase is polar and stationary phase is non polar.

Due to this non polar compound elute with low rate while polar elute first.

so elution in reverse phase HPLC will be in oreder of first benzoic acid then benzyl alcohol then benzaldehyde then acetophenone (due to steric effect of methyl proton.
