Question

If two compounds have R_fvalues of 0.50 and 0.61, how far will they be separated from each other on a plate when the solvent front is developed to (a) 5 cm? (b) 15 cm?

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Answer is (a) x cm / 5.0 cm = 0.50; x = 2.5 cm. Similarly, y = 3.05 cm. Separation = 3.05 - 2.5) = 0.55 cm.
(b) 1.65 cm
