reaction

First, prepare the benzil solution and spot it in the first lane on your TLC plate.

Write down your observations in your lab notebook.

The photo shows a small plastic weighing boat on top of a laboratory scale. The contents of the weighing boat are not visible, but the screen on the scale reads “0.0735 g.”

The photo shows the bottom of a small graduated test tube. The test tube contains a small amount (0.75 mL) of solution, which appears to be somewhat clouded with white solids at the bottom.

The photo shows two thin layer chromatography plates, each of which have been marked with a spotting line and three lanes. The lanes on the left plate are marked “0,” “2,” and “5.” The lanes on the right plate are marked “10,” “12,” and “15.” There is a very pale, off white circle around the origin of the “0” lane, indicating that it has recently been spotted with a substance that has since evaporated.

Let's start the reaction!
