1 I. Techniques in Organic Lab and TLC Analysis a. Thin-Layer Chromatography 2. A TLC plate displays the compound spot approximately 3.2 cm above the base line upon visualization; the solvent ran 4.1 cm up the plate. Calculate the R f value of the compound. 3. Two unknown samples are found to have the same R f value under identical TLC conditions. Are they the same compound? Explain. 4. A TLC plate has a polar stationary phase (silica gel) and a non-polar mobile phase (EtOAc/Hexanes). Two unknown compounds are spotted and allowed to run up the plate. The spot for Compound A traveled 1.3 cm above the base line; Compound B traveled 3.6 cm above the base line. Which compound would you expect to be more polar? Why? 5. Identify at least 3 different methods used for visualization of a TLC plate. II. Experiment 1: Extraction of Caffeine from Tea a. Vacuum Filtration
