[IMAGE 59]

A. Compound ‘c’ is more polar than ‘a’ and ‘b’

B. Compound ‘a’ is least polar

C. Compound ‘b’ comes out of the column before ‘c’ and after ‘a’

D. Compound ‘a’ spends more time in the column

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:                 [2023]

• A, B and D only

   

• B and D only

   

• B, C and D only

   

• A, B and C only

   

Q 22 :

Using column chromatography, mixture of two compounds ‘A’ and ‘B’ was separated. ‘A’ eluted first, this indicates ‘B’ has             [2023]

• low ${\mathrm{R}}_{\mathrm{f}}$, weaker adsorption

   

• high ${\mathrm{R}}_{\mathrm{f}}$, stronger adsorption

   

• high ${\mathrm{R}}_{\mathrm{f}}$, weaker adsorption

   

• low ${\mathrm{R}}_{\mathrm{f}}$, stronger adsorption

   

Q 23 :

The correct order of elution in the silica gel column chromatography is            [2023]

• B, A, C

   

• C, A, B

   

• B, C, A

   

• A, C, B

   

Q 24 :

Which of the following statements is correct for paper chromatography?              [2023]

• Paper sheet forms the stationary phase.

   

• Water present in the pores of the paper forms the stationary phase.

   

• Paper and water present in its pores together form the stationary phase.

   

• Water present in the mobile phase gets absorbed by the paper which then forms the stationary phase.
