 1 point Given the TLC (thin layer chromatography) plate below, determine

how a significantly greater degree of resolution between the resultant spots can

likely be obtained when developing an identical TLC plate in the future.

1 point Given the TLC (thin layer chromatography) plate below, determine how a significantly greater degree of resolution between the resultant spots can likely be obtained when developing an identical TLC plate in the future. - The following TLC plate has been fully developed and marked so that all spots are indicated. - The stationary phase of the TLC plate is composed of relatively polar silica gel. In other words, a standard stationary phase is being used. - The "starting line" represents where a given compound or multiple compounds have been spotted before development of the TLC plate (see key). - The "solvent front" represents the distance traveled by the eluent (solvent) up the TLC plate. (Multiple Answer: Multinlo sncianmmma.._ rect answers must be indicated for full credit) Allow the TLC plate to develop for a longer period of time increasing the distance of the solvent front from the starting line. Reduce the amount of time the TLC plate is allowed to develop, decreasing the distance of the solvent front from the starting line. Increase the polarity of the developing solvent. Decrease the polarity of the developing solvent
