Question

In a standard Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) experiment, the mobile phase solvent front advances exactly $10.0 	ext{ cm}$ from the baseline. If a target organic substance advances exactly $6.5 	ext{ cm}$ from the baseline, its Retardation factor ($R_f$) is:

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. The Retardation factor () is defined strictly as the ratio of the distance moved by the substance to the distance moved by the solvent front. Therefore, .
