Of you were to increase the polarity of the solvent system, what would happen to the retention factors of the spots on the silica gel tlc plate? (2 pt)
a. only nonpolar compounds would have a larger retention factor
b. only polar compounds would have a larger retention factor
c. all spots would have a larger retention factor and elute in the same order
d. all spots would have a smaller retention factor and elute in the same order

Mass is the amount of matter in an object.  weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object.  say for example, you travel to the moon which has a different gravitational field compared to the gravitational field of earth. (gravitational fields: earth = 1, moon = 0.165)  now when you are on the moon, the pull of gravity on you is different than on the earth. and as weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object, that means yes, your weight can and will change on the moon.  however, on the moon, on earth or even on jupiter, the amount of mass inside of you remains the same. meaning your physical mass remains constant.  in conclusion it is possible for your weight to change as your mass remains constant.
