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