6/7/22 Thin Layer Chromatography Lab Report 1. Fill in Re values for each: (Mark the solvent you used with an *) Compound toluene *Methylene chloride 10% MeOH/toluene naphthalene 0.77 0.76 0.82 palmetic 0.12 0.55 0.53 cholesterol 0.07 0.36 0.16 N.N-dimethyl aniline 0.60 0.80 0.38 m-nitroaniline 0.17 0.50 0.72 *Unknown A contains cholesterol__and Unknown B contains_ Naphthalene O 2. Draw structures for each of the compounds you performed TLC on and indicate what functional group(s) are present. Which of these would you predict to be the most polar? Is this consistent with what you found? (Second page) 3. Explain why increasing the polarity of the mobile phase causes all Re's to increase. 4. Explain, in your own words, how Thin Layer Chromatography works to allow for the separation of the components of a mixture on a TLC plate? I
