Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data,

Consider a sample that is a mixture composed of biphenyl, benzoic acid, and benzyl alcohol. The sample is spotted on a TLC plate and developed in a dichloromethane-cyclohexane solvent mixture.

The relative Rf values for the three components in the sample have to be predicted.

The formula for the calculating relative Rf value has to be given below,

Rf = Distance travelled by the compoundDistance travelled by the solvent
