Question:
Which of the following statements regarding thin layerchromatography are TRUE?
In thin layer chromatography, a polar organic compound will beattracted to the adsorbent and therefore travel further up theplate than a non-polar compound
The Rf value is independent of the adsorbent material used.
In thin layer chromatography, a polar organic compound will berepelled by the adsorbent and therefore travel further up the platethan a non-polar compound.
Sample spots should be approximately 1 cm in diameter.
Covering the sample jar is done to saturate the atmosphere withsolvent. Thin layer chromatography is an example of adsorptionchromatography, and not partition chromatography.
