A homogeneous mixture of compounds P,Q, and R is spotted on a thin layer chromatography (TLC) plate. The TLC plate is made of acidic silica. The spotted TLC plate is placed in a closed jar containing diethyl ether as a mobile phase (eluent). As the eluent rises up the TLC plate, the compounds of the mixture separate and travel to different distances. The developed TLC plate is shown below.
