Imagine that you want to analyze a sample of aspirin by TLC, with a mobile phase of 10:90 ethyl
acetate:hexanes. In order to prepare your sample to be spotted on the TLC plate you decide to
dissolve your sample in 100% ethyl acetate (assume that it is completely soluble). In two
sentences or less explain if this is an acceptable way to prepare your sample in order to be
“spotted― on the TLC plate (assume the concentration is correct).
Solution
1. For spotting good solubility is preferred so it's acceptable to dissolve in Ethyl acetate.
2. Polarity should be furthermore is prefered 20-30% (Ethyl acetate) in hexane.
Reason is:
If the mobile phase has not been previously determined, start with a nonpolar solvent such as
hexane compound do not move very far, try adding a polar solvent ethyl acetate to the hexane.
Compare the separation to the previous plate. AND FIX YOUR PROBLEM.
