Hyun-woo is separating a mixture into individual pigments using paper chromatography. Below is the paper chromatogram that was produced. What is the Rf value for each of the separated pigments? Round to the nearest hundredth (0.00). You must show all work for credit. Use details to support your answer.

Paper chromatograph showing the separation of a mixture into three pigments: yellow, blue, and red. The solvent front measures 10.7 cm from the baseline. The yellow pigment measures 7.8 cm from the baseline. The blue pigment measures 6.5 cm from the base line. The red pigment measures 3.2 cm from the base line.

Respuesta :

The retention factor Rf is the ratio of the distance traveled by the solute to the distance traveled by the solvent front.

What is the retention factor?

The retention factor Rf is the ratio of the distance traveled by the solute to the distance traveled by the solvent front.

In this case;

Rf of the yellow pigment =  7.8 cm /  10.7 cm  = 0.73

Rf of the blue pigment = 6.5 cm/  10.7 cm  =0.61

Rf of the red pigment =  3.2 cm/10.7 cm  =0.30
