chemistry chromatography UPDATED
Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
the time the substances stay in stationary phase depends on - CORRECT ANSWER - mass
of the solute
solubility in the mobile phase vs solubilility in liquid stationary phase
adsorption
what is the stationary phase in thin layer chromatography - CORRECT ANSWER - solid
silica gel plate on a glass plate
what is the mobile phase in thin layer chromatography - CORRECT ANSWER - organic
solvent i.e hexane
what are the limitation of thin layer chromatography - CORRECT ANSWER - - similar to
paper chromatography
why do we use a lid in thin layer chromatography - CORRECT ANSWER - avoid
evaporation
really polar molecules should have a small Rf
attracted to the plate - stationary phase
Formula for Rf value - CORRECT ANSWER - distance moved by spot/distance moved by
solvent
