The cоnsiderаtiоn given tо the deаd body prior to, during, аnd after the embalming procedure:
A student is given а mixture оf three cоmpоunds (X, Y, аnd Z) аnd performs a TLC analysis using a silica gel plate with hexane as the solvent. The TLC plate shows two spots near the baseline and one spot that travels close to the solvent front. The student then repeats the TLC using a more polar solvent system (hexane: ethyl acetate), resulting in three distinct spots with Rf values of 0.25, 0.40, and 0.75. The student proceeds to separate the mixture using column chromatography with silica gel as the stationary phase. Questions: Based on the TLC results, rank compounds X, Y, and Z in order of increasing polarity. Explain your reasoning. Predict the order in which the compounds will elute from the column. Justify your answer based on their interactions with the stationary phase. The initial TLC in pure hexane showed poor separation. Explain why increasing the polarity of the solvent improved the separation. Two compounds have very similar Rf values (0.40 and 0.45) in a trial run. What challenge does this present for column chromatography, and what modification could improve the separation? During the column experiment, the student finds that all compounds are present in every collected fraction. Provide one possible reason for this observation and suggest how to correct it.
