General Organic Chemistry Question 34
Question 34 - 2024 (30 Jan Shift 1)
On a thin layer chromatographic plate, an organic compound moved by $3.5 cm$, while the solvent moved by $5 cm$. The retardation factor of the organic compound is ________ $\times 10^{-1}$
Show Answer
Answer (7)
Solution
Formula:Chromatography
etardation factor $=\frac{\text { Distance travelled by sample/organic compound }}{\text { Distance travelled by solvent }}=\frac{3.5}{5}=7 \times 10^{-1}$
