NEETChemistryGeneral Principles and Processes of Isolation of Metals
The mixture of compounds A and B is passed through a column of Al 2 O 3 by using alcohol as eluent. Compound A is eluted in preference to compound B. Which of the compounds A or B, is more readily adsorbed on the column?
Options
- ASince compound ‘A’ comes out before compound ‘B’, the compound ‘B’ is more readily adsorbed on column.
- BSince compound ‘A’ comes out before compound ‘B’, the compound ‘A’ is more readily adsorbed on column.
- CCompound ‘A’ and Compound ‘B’ are adsorbed on the column at the same rate
- DNeither of Compound ‘A’ and Compound ‘B’ are adsorbed on the column
Correct answer
A. Since compound ‘A’ comes out before compound ‘B’, the compound ‘B’ is more readily adsorbed on column.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) Since compound ‘A’ comes out before compound ‘B’, the compound ‘B’ is more readily adsorbed on column.
