In TLC chromatography there is a technique known as Co-spotting. In this technique, a sample of an unknown substance is charged at the same point, together with a known substance and stimulated by some kind of stimulant. In the example below, we loaded biphenyl (a known substance) together with two unknown substances A and B. Is A, or B biphenyl? Justify your answer. What is the alternative method to co-spotting, and which one do you think is better?

Archimedes, a famous Greek scientist, was given a problem by King Hieron II of Syracuse (Sicily). The king suspected that his crown, which was supposed to be made of pure gold, contained some silver alloy, and he asked Archimedes to prove or disprove his suspicion. (It turned out that the crown did not contain silver.) How would you experimentally determined whether or not the crown was pure gold? (Hint: The method came to Archimedes when getting into a full bathtub. See the footnote in Experiment 22 for Archimedes’ solution.)
