Why it matters

This objective helps connect Chromatography (A-level only) to exam-style questions, flashcards, and revision notes for Chromatography (A-level only).

Quick student answer

Which of the following statements about thin-layer chromatography (TLC) is correct?

Direct answer

D. The Rf value is calculated as the distance traveled by the solute divided by the distance traveled by the solvent front.

Key terms

  • Chromatography: A technique used to separate and analyze components in a mixture based on their different interactions with a stationary phase and a mobile phase.
  • Retention Factor (Rf): A numerical value that represents the ratio of the distance traveled by a compound to the distance traveled by the solvent front in chromatography.

Common trap

Misunderstanding Rf values: Remember that Rf values are always between 0 and 1, as they represent a ratio of distances.
