Chromatography is a technique used to separate the components of a mixture. Different solvents will dissolve different substances. A polar solvent water will dissolve polar substances water soluble ink in the video below.
A non-polar solvent will dissolve non-polar substances. Begin typing your search term above and press enter to search. Press ESC to cancel. Skip to content Home Physics What is the purpose of thin layer chromatography? Ben Davis September 26, What is the purpose of thin layer chromatography?
What are the two major uses of thin layer chromatography? What are the advantages and disadvantages of thin layer chromatography? What does Rf value tell you about purity? What do Rf values indicate? Why is RF value important? What does the RF tell you? Why should all RF values be between 0 and 1? What does a higher Rf value mean? What has a higher Rf value? Can an RF be greater than 1?
What does it mean if the RF value is 0? What is Rf value full form? What factors affect RF values in paper chromatography? So we can say that compound B is less polar and travels faster. The opposite is true for compound A. Since this doesn't move as much, it's more attracted to the polar silica gel, and hence it's more polar than compound B and travels slower. Think about it like it's getting stuck in the stationary phase and doesn't really want to move away from it.
So there we've done our first example. Let's do another one. In this example, we can see that our initial reaction mixture separated into four different compounds.
Let's label these as A through D, with A being the orange spot, B as the yellow one, C as the green one, and D as the purple one. Again, we'll use the same process that we used earlier. So the first step is to take a ruler and put it next your TLC plate. This is 1 unit, 2 units, 3, 4, 5, and 6. So let's calculate the RF of A. This is equal to the distance traveled by A over the distance traveled by the solvent, so we need to measure these. First, we can see that A has traveled 1 unit, equal to 1, and the solvent has traveled about 6 units.
So we'll say that's 1 over 6 then. Let's convert that to decimals and you have 0. We can do the same for each these compounds. Next, we'll take B. This is again equal to B over S, which equals this distance is about 3 units.
So we have 3 over 6, which is equal to 0. Next, we'll measure this for C. The RF of C is equal to the distance traveled by C over the distance traveled by S, which equals-- distance traveled by C is so that's going to be 4 over 6, which is equal to 0. And lastly for D, again we'll have to measure the distance traveled by D over distance traveled by S. Rf values range from 0 to 1 with 0 indicating that the solvent polarity is very low and 1 indicating that the solvent polarity is very high.
When performing your experiment, you do not want your values to be 0 or 1 because your components that you are separating have different polarities. Chromatography is based on the principle where molecules in mixture applied onto the surface or into the solid, and fluid stationary phase stable phase is separating from each other while moving with the aid of a mobile phase. Size of spot may range mm depending upon number of sample to be applied to the paper.
The mobile phase which gives Rf value range between 0. Chromatography is a series of equilibrium reactions where the analytes are either dissolved in the mobile phase or adsorbed to the stationary phase of the column. The higher the temperature, the faster the exchange of the analytes between the mobile phase and the stationary phase. The eluting power of solvents increases with polarity.
Silica gel is by far the most widely used adsorbent and remains the dominant stationary phase for TLC. The surface of silica gel with the highest concentration of geminal and associated silanols is favored most for the chromatography of basic compounds because these silanols are less acidic.
