When preparing to develop a TLC plate what is the appropriate spatial relationship between the level of solvent in the developing chamber and the spots on your TLC plate?

The spots on the TLC plate should be placed about a cm from the bottom of the plate. Then solvent should then fall about half-way between these spots and the bottom of the beaker.

What will be the result of applying too much compound to a TLC plate?

Applying too much compound to the TLC plate makes it difficult for a good separation to occur. Instead, a large blot of solution tends to appear in the TLC. "It is extremely important that the spots be as small as possible and that they be applied using a 1% solution of the compounds being separated

How Chromatography can be used for non colored solution?

Many organic compounds are aromatic and thus absorb ultraviolet light. Simply shine UV over your TLC plate and observe the spots. If the compound isn't UV absorbing but has a double bond, a solution of KMnO4 can be used to visibly stain the compound on the TLC plate.


What happen if the spots on TLC plate are made too small?

There will be too much of the sample for it to effectively separate over such a short distance. The result will be a splotchy streak instead of several separate spots after development.


Why iodine is used in thin layer chromatography?

The staining of a TLC plate with iodine vapor is among the oldest methods for the visualization of organic compounds. It is based upon the observation that iodine has a high affinity for both unsaturated and aromatic compounds. Preparation: A chamber may be assembled as follows: To 100 mL wide mouth jar (with cap) is added a piece of filter paper and few crystals of iodine. Iodine has a high vapor pressure for a solid and the chamber will rapidly become saturated with iodine vapor. Insert your TLC plate and allow it to remain within the chamber until it develops a light brown color over the entire plate. Commonly, if your compound has an affinity for iodine, it will appear as a dark brown spot on a lighter brown background. Carefully remove the TLC plate at this point and gently circle the spots with a dull pencil. The iodine will not remain on the TLC plate for long periods of time so circling these spots is necessary if one wishes to refer to these TLC's at a later date.
