Question

In chromatography technique, the purification of compound is independent of ______.

Options

• length of the column or TLC plate

• mobility or flow of solvent system

• physical state of the pure compound

• solubility of the compound

Answer 1

In chromatography technique, the purification of compound is independent of physical state of the pure compound.

Explanation:

The purification of a compound using chromatography is independent of the physical state of the pure compound. It is based on the principle that the constituents are adsorbed to varying degrees on an adsorbent. Adsorbents are typically silica gel or alumina.
