JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 8.3. Organic chemistry purification and characterization

Three organic compounds \(A , B\) and \(C\) were allowed to run in thin layer chromatography using hexane and gave the following result (see figure). The \(R_f\) value of the most polar compound is \(............\,\times 10^{-2}\)

  1. A \(24\)
  2. B \(25\)
  3. C \(23\)
  4. D \(22\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(25\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

More \(R _{ f }\), less its polarity \(R _{ f }=\frac{\text { Distance travelled by compound ' } X \text { ' }}{\text { Distance travelled by solvent ' } Y '}\) \(=\frac{2}{8}=0.25=25 \times 10^{-2}\)
