Study Notes
Rf Value in Chromatography
- Rf value quantifies the distance traveled by a substance in a chromatogram relative to the distance traveled by the solvent front.
- Rf value equals the ratio of the distance traveled by the substance to the distance traveled by the solvent front.
- The range of Rf value is 0 to 1, where 0 indicates the substance did not move from the origin and 1 indicates the substance moved with the solvent front.
Test your understanding of the Rf value used in chromatography to quantify the movement of substances along the plate. Learn about how Rf is calculated and its significance in separation techniques.
