Rf = distance travelled by solute/distance travelled by solvent front
Distance travelled by A = Rf of A x distance travelled by solvent front
= 0.62 x 25.0 = 15.5 cm
Distance travelled by B = Rf of B x distance travelled by solvent front
= 0.30 x 25.0 = 7.5 cm
Distance between A and B = 15.5 - 7.5 = 8.0 cm
During a chromatography experiment, a student calculated two Rf values. They are A: .62 and B:...
1. List two errors in the typical student set up for performing thin layer chromatography illustrated here. 2. Define the following terms: Analyte: Stationary Phase: Mobile phase: Solvent Front: Origin: Rf Value: 3. Compound y traveled 6.2 cm while the solvent front traveled 11.1 cm. Calculate the Rf value for compound y. 4. Compound Z has an Rf value of 0725. When a chromatogram was developed, it moved 3.3 cm from the origin. How many cm did the solvent front...
2. The diagram below shows the results of a simple thin layer chromatography experiment. height reached by the solvent the "solvent font a) Describe briefly, but precisely, what you would have done in order to get to this stage. You can assume that you have been given a suitable thin layer chromatography plate. b) Why is there a cover on the beaker? c) In order to help identify the things in a chromatogram, you can measure the Rf value for...
Case C Thin Layer Chromatography 1. TOXI-LAB is a screening method that uses: chromatography (column / planar) The first step consists of the extraction of drug metabolites from biological fluids when we place the sample in a test tube containing a mixture of solvents and buffering salts that cause the extraction of basic and neutral drugs. The solvent extract of the sample is concentrated by heat and evaporation, then is deposited onto a small disc of chromatographic media (small circle...

Describe the differences between paper chromatography and TLC. Give two advantages and two disadvantages of each method for analysis. In order to prepare for a column chromatography separation of 3 ink dye components, you have run a TLC experiment with three possible solvent mixtures. These are the results: Acetone:Hexane in 1:1 ratio gave the following distances: solvent=4.2cm, pigment #1=3.8cm, pigment #2=1.7cm, and pigment #3=1.3cm Acetone:Hexane in 2:1 ratio gave the following distances: solvent=4.3cm, pigment #1=3.8cm, pigment #2=2.1cm, and pigment...
26. In a certain paper chromatography experiment, the Re values of components X, Y, and Z are 0.25, 0.50, and 0.75. If the spot of component Z traveled 72 mm, the solvent front would have traveled A. 18 mm B. 24 mm C. 54 mm D. 96 mm E. 216 mm 27. In the experiment described in question 26, the spot of X would have traveled A. 18 mm B. 24 mm C. 54 mm D. 96 mm E. 216...
2. If two different compounds have the same Rr value, how might they be identified using paper chromatography? 3. Why is it important to keep the spots on the paper as small as possible? 4. If the solvent pool at the bottom of the beaker touched the spots on the 1.5cm line, what would happen to the spots? How would you address this error? 5. If you were teaching a student how to do paper chromatography, what three pieces of...
Answer the following two questions A paper chromatography experiment was conducted on a mixture of amino acids including Aspartic acid (Asp), Glutamic acid (Glu), Histidine (His), Leucine (Leu), Phenylalanine (Phe) and Proline (Pro). The following Rf values were determined: Asp (0.245), Glutamic (0.275), His (0.295), Leu (0.745), Phe (0.685) and Pro (0.445). In the experiment, a colored spot for unknown amino acid "W" was found centered at a distance 25 mm from the start line when the solvent line had...
