Part a) A mixture of benzyl alcohol, benzoic acid, and xylene is spotted on a silica gel TLC plate and developed in a mixture of 1:1 dichloromethane-methanol as the solvent. Predict the relative Rf values for the three components in the sample (fastest to slowest). Part b) What would happen to the Rf values of the compounds in part a if you were to increase the relative concentration of methanol in the solvent mixture? Why?
