You are trying to determine a TLC solvent system which will separate the compounds X,Y, and Z. You ran the compounds on a TLC plate using hexanes/ethyl acetate 80:20 as the eluting solvent and obtained the chromatogram below. Based on this data, what solvent system could you use to give a better separation of these three compounds? Elute with 70:30 hexanes/ethyl acetate Elute with 100% ethyl acetate Elute with 100% hexane Elute with 90:10 hexanes/ethyl acetate
