Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R
Assertion A : Thin layer chromatography is an adsorption chromatography.
Reason R : A thin layer of silica gel is spread over a glass plate of suitable size in thin layer chromatography which acts as an adsorbent.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
Multiple Choice Options
- A Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
- B Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
- C A is true but R is false
- D A is false but R is true
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Thin layer chromoatography (TLC) is another type of adsorption chromatography, which involve sepration of substance of a mixture ovel a thin layer of an adsorbent coated on glass plate.
A thin layer (about 0.2 mm thick) of an adsorbent (silica gel) or (Alumina) in spread overa glass plate of suitable size. Hence Assertion (A) is correct and Reason (R) is correct explanation of (A)
A thin layer (about 0.2 mm thick) of an adsorbent (silica gel) or (Alumina) in spread overa glass plate of suitable size. Hence Assertion (A) is correct and Reason (R) is correct explanation of (A)
