A mixture of substances A, B, C, D is subjected to column chromatography. The degree of adsorption is in the order of $\mathrm{D}\gt\mathrm{B}\gt\mathrm{C}\gt\mathrm{A}$. The column is eluted with suitable solvent. Identify the correct statement with respect to separation of mixture
D comes out first from the column
A comes out first from the column
C comes out after B from the column
B comes out after D from the column
Solution
The degree of adsorption of A is smallest, So it will be elute first.
