Calculate the Rf value for a compound if the solvent distance is 10cm and the distance that the compound travelled on a sheet of chromatography paper is 2 2cm 0.53 o 202 200 0 22

Solution

Answer:

Rf value is the ratio of the distance moved by the solute and the distance moved by the the solvent.

Rf=distance moved by solute/distance moved by solvent

Given distance moved by solute =2.2 cm

and distance moved by solvent=10 cm

Rf=2.2cm/10cm

Rf=0.22.
