Thin layer chromatography can be used to identify a compound because for certain reaction mixtures, TLC can separate all compounds in a mixture based on the distance the compound travels on the TLC film. With the proper solvent system, TLC can be used to uniquely identify a compound.

∙ 14y agoIdentification is undertaken either by combining a gas chromatograph with a mass spectrometer, which can identify compounds as they exit the chromatography column, or by producing a chromatograph of a known mixture with that of an unknown mixture. Compounds which have the same "retention time", under the same conditions, are likely to be the same.

What can chromatography be used for?
The uses of chromatography are important in checking the purity of oils extracted from plants, which are often used in the medicine industry. It shows all the different colours of chemicals in the mixture can be used to compare the elements of two mixtures.
Which chromatography to separate non volatile compounds?
High performance liquid chromatography is used to separate non volatile compounds
Why chromatography is used to detect and identify traces of poison present in the stomach wash of a person?
it is chromatography
Why are silica gels used in chromatography?
to separate the organic compounds
Can chromatography be used to separate mixtures?
Chromatography is used in case of an investigation as in the analysis of poisoned food, chromatography can help find individual components.

Which method is commonly used to separate and identify amino acids?
chromatography
What is the name of the process that is used to detect and identify the dyes in Colourings?
i think its chromatography :)
What is chromatography fluid?
It refers to a set of technique used to separate different compounds. So involves separating chemicals and identifying them by color. Various chromatography products are used during the process.
Can TLC or paper chromatography be used to separate and identify very volatile substances?
Thin layer chromatography is not a method that can be used for very volatile substances. When a thin layer plate is removed from a developing tank, one needs to evaporate off the developing solvent, which is sometimes done by heating the plate or moving it thorugh a stream of air. Any volatile components on the plate would be removed at the same time. In order to separate and identify volatile compounds, you'd use hplc or gc (high performance liquid or gas chromatography.
What is the purpose of a chromatography lab?
Chromatography is used in blood to determine whether it is contaminated with alcohol and things like that. It can be also used to find out if cocaine etc. is in your urine and lead in water. This uses a colour chart to see what chemicals have been used and added up make a compound, then you can find out that it is alcohol, lead etc.
What is the H.P.L.C. chromatography?
HPLC stands for high performance liquid chromatography. It is a liquid chromatography which involves the separation of the compounds on the basis of their polarity. It is used to analyze, identify, purify & quantify the compounds.
Which are the top commercial uses for HPLC?
HPLC is used to analyze, identify, purify and quantify organic compounds.
