Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion \(A\) and the other is labelled as Reason \(R\) Assertion \(A\) : Thin layer chromatography is an adsorption chromatography. Reason \(R\): A thin layer of silica gel is spread over a glass plate of suitable size in thin layer chromatography which acts as an adsorbent. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
- A Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true and \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A.\)
- B Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true but \(R\) is \(NOT\) the correct explanation of \(A\)
- C \(A\) is true but \(R\) is false
- D \(A\) is false but \(R\) is true
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Both \(A\) and \(R\) are true and \(R\) is the correct explanation of \(A.\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Theory based Thin layer chromoatography \((TLC)\) is another type of adsorption chromatography, which involve sepration of substance of a mixture ovel a thin layer of an adsorbent coated on glass plate. A thin layer (about \(0.2\,mm\) thick) of an adsorbent (silica gel) or…
