Calculate the Rf values for the following compounds.
  (a) Spot, 5.0 cm; solvent front, 20.0 cm
  (b) Spot, 3.0 cm; solvent front, 12.0 cm
  (c) Spot, 9.8 cm; solvent front, 12.0 cm



Question 2

The Rf values determined on silica gel TLC plates for Compounds A, B, and C are tabulated in
  Table 11.5.
  (a) In order to purify Compound A, which of the solvent systems should be used to develop
  the column in a flash chromatography procedure?
  (b) Could 90 mg of a mixture of Compound A and Compound B be separated by macroscale
  flash column chromatography using 20 ethyl acetate80 hexanes as the eluting sol
  vent?
  (c) Could 90 mg of a mixture of Compound A and Compound C be separated by macroscale
  flash column chromatography using 20 ethyl acetate80 hexanes as the eluting sol
  vent?

Answer to Question 1

(a) Rf = 5.0 cm/20.0 cm = 0.25
(b) 0.25
(c) 0.82



Answer to Question 2

(a) 20 ethyl acetate80 hexanes
(b) Only if a column greater than 10 mm is used, because the difference in their Rf values is
0.05, and must be >.20 to be separated in a flash chromatography procedure if 90 mg is
applied to the column.
(c) Only if a column greater than 10 mm is used, although if only 40 mg is applied to the col
umn, they could be separated.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.

Many people have small pouches in their colons that bulge outward through weak spots. Each pouch is called a diverticulum. About 10% of Americans older than age 40 years have diverticulosis, which, when the pouches become infected or inflamed, is called diverticulitis. The main cause of diverticular disease is a low-fiber diet.
