A chemist is separating a mixture of two substances, Y and Z, using column
chromatography. The chemist loads the mixture onto a column filled with
silica gel (a polar material) and then flows a nonpolar solvent through the
column. Partway through running the column (at t = t'), the chemist
observes the separation of Y and Z shown below.
