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

Two compounds \(I\) and \(II\) are eluted by column chromato-graphy(adsorption of \(I> II\)). Which one of the following is a correct statement?

  1. A \(II\) moves slower and has higher \(R_f\) value than \(I\)
  2. B \(II\) moves faster and has higher \(R_f\) value than \(I\)
  3. C \(I\) moves faster and has higher \(R_f\) value than \(II\)
  4. D \(I\) moves slower and has higher \(R_f\) value than \(I\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(II\) moves faster and has higher \(R_f\) value than \(I\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, adsorption of \(I > II\), \(I\) is firmly attached to column (stationary phase). Hence, it will move slowly and will move little distance. Also \(II\) is loosely attached to column (stationary phase). Hence, it will move faster and will move large distance
