In an eluent solution of 70% hexanes and 30% ethyl acetate, compound A moves farther on the TLC plate than compound B. Compound A is polar than compound B.

it means compound A is less polar than compound B

Explanation:

It is sure that the more polar the solvent, the faster compounds elute, regardless of the compounds polarity. This means changing the solvent polarity cannot change the order compounds elute from a TLC or column. This may seem non intuitive, as it would seem that a polar solvent would move a polar compound farther than a nonpolar compound.

answer: the rate of diffusion increases with increase in temperature.

increase in temperature, increases the molecular/particles speed (kinetic energy. diffusion means movement of particles through the material.

generally, the heavier the particle the more it interacts with the environment and more the temperature matters. so higher temperature results in higher diffusion.
