In the case of n-hexane-ethyl acetate thin layer chromatography as the core
There is now a product. In order to analyze its properties, n-hexane and ethyl acetate are selected as the solution for thin layer chromatography. The n-hexane is hydrophobic, ethyl acetate, both hydrophilic and hydrophobic. The combination of the two makes this wonderful method.
The product to be precipitated is placed on a thin layer plate. The plate is placed in a tank containing the mixed solution of n-hexane-ethyl acetate, and the liquid climbs along the plate due to capillary action. The components in the product are separated on the plate due to the difference in solubility and adsorption force between n-hexane and ethyl acetate.
After that, take out the thin plate and observe its spots. Different components show spots in different positions, according to which the composition in the substance can be identified and its purity can also be measured. This method of n-hexane-ethyl acetate thin layer chromatography is effective in the analysis of the substance, and it is also a good strategy for the identification of the substance.
