The chemical structure of food coloring and oil are not provided on their packaging, but based on the results of these experiments you can predict what you might see. Explain whether you think there are more -OH (hydroxyl) groups or -CH hydrocarbon chains on a molecule of food coloring and on an oil molecule

The surface of the eye is wet by tears, and to minimize evaporation, the tear layer is coated with lipids. One of these lipids is built from oleic acid and a 32-carbon fatty acid that has a double bond between carbons 9 and 10 and a hydroxyl group attached to the omega carbon. The carboxyl group of oleic acid condenses with the hydroxyl group in the longer lipid. Draw the structure of the reaction product. It’s OK to draw a condensed structure.
Three pigment solutions are given to you. The first pigment, A, contains four -OH and two -NH groups. The second pigment, B, has two-OH groups. The third pigment, C, has a very long hydrocarbon chain with no oxygen. You are told to separate these pigments by paper chromatography using a solvent composed of 70% benzene and 30% acetone. Predict the locations of the three pigments on the paper with respect to the solvent front after they separate. Explain your answer.
