OR Paper Chromatography Lab #6

The stationary phase is

• the solvent.

• the wait time for compounds to move.

• the paper.

Which interaction is the most important effect on paper chromatography?

• The mixture of solvents.

• The water vapor from air to the paper.

• The type of paper being used.

The equilibrium distribution relies on the strength of the IMFs because

• compounds that are polar will favor the paper and stay in stationary phase.

• compounds that are nonpolar will favor the paper and stay in the stationary phase.

If a compound is polar, it will spend more time in the

• stationary phase.

• mobile phase.

If a compound is nonpolar, it will spend more time in the

• stationary phase.

• mobile phase.

A compound with a higher Rf tends to be more

• polar.

• nonpolar.

The more polar the compound, the more likely it will travel ____ on the paper.

• slower and lower.

• slower and higher.

• faster and lower.

• faster and higher.

The molar nonpolar the compound, the more it will travel _____ on the paper.

• slower and lower

• slower and higher

• faster and lower

• faster and higher
