Question
Chemistry Question on Organic Chemistry- Some Basic Principles and Techniques
Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: Thin layer chromatography is an adsorption chromatography.
Reason R: A thin layer of silica gel is spread over a glass plate of suitable size inthin layer chromatography which acts as an adsorbent.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
A is true but R is false
A is false but R is true
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Solution
Thin layer chromoatography (TLC) is another type of adsorption chromatography, which involve sepration of substance of a mixture ovel a thin layer of an adsorbent coated on glass plate.
A thin layer (about 0.2 mm thick) of an adsorbent (silica gel) or (Alumina) in spread overa glass plate of suitable size.
Hence Assertion (A) is correct and Reason (R) is correct explanation of (A)
