In paper chromatography, a compound has an Rf value of 0.4. If the solvent front travels 8.0 cm, how far does the compound travel?

Correct answer: B. 3.2 cm

  • A. 2.0 cm
  • B. 3.2 cm
  • C. 4.0 cm
  • D. 8.0 cm

Explanation

Rf distance traveled by compound/distance traveled by solvent. Distance= Rf × solvent distance= 0.4 x 8.0 = 3.2 cm.
