Correct answer: B. Retention Factor
- A. the size of paper
- B. Retention Factor
- C. temperature of the experiment
- D. size of the chromatographic tank used
Explanation
The comparative rate at which the solutes move in paper chromatography mainly depends on the retention factor, which is expressed as the ratio of the distance travelled by the solute to the total distance travelled by the solvent (i.e., solvent front).
