Given the TLC (thin layer chromatography) plate below determine the compound(s) present within the unknown. - 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.
