Question

Thin layer chromatography of a mixture shows the following observation:

The correct order of elution in the silica gel column chromatography is .

• A. A>B>C
• B. C>A>B
• C. A>C>B
• D. B>C>A

Hint:

Thin layer chromatography helps in understanding the relative mobility of different substances based on their interaction with the mobile and stationary phases.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

According to the observation, A is more mobile and interacts with the mobile phase more than C, and C is more than B.
This suggests that A is more mobile, C is less mobile, and B has the least mobility. Hence the correct order is A>C>B.
