Question
The mixture of compounds A and B is passed through a column of \[\ce{Al2O3}\] by using alcohol as eluant. Compound A is eluted in preference to compound B. Which of the compounds A or B, is more readily adsorbed on the column?
Advertisements
Solution
Compound A doesn’t adsorb on the column well and moves down the column with alcohol (eluant), while compound B gets adsorbed well on the column and cannot move down.
