What is an rf value used for?
The rf value is shorthand for the retention value of a substance. It is used in chromatography to determine the components of an unknown sample.
Which component has Rf value of 1?
Blue.
What are largest and smallest Rf values?
The largest Rf value is 1, which occurs when the compound remains at the origin of the chromatogram and does not move at all. The smallest Rf value is 0, which happens when the compound moves with the solvent front and does not adhere to the stationary phase.
What kind of coin is a 5 francs with a RF about the amount?
RF - Republique Francaise (= French Republic).
How long does it take RF energy to travel one mile?
The same amount of time as it takes light waves; RF (radio frequency) is a type of electromagnetic wave, just like light. To get the time, divide the distance by the speed (in this case, the speed of light).
If solute B is more soluble in water than A which one should have the larger Rf value?
If solute B is more soluble in water than solute A, then solute B should have a smaller Rf value than solute A. This is because solute B will travel less distance with the solvent front compared to solute A, resulting in a smaller Rf value for solute B.
What is the value of a Reggie Jackson 1988 Score RF baseball card?
Less than 30 cents.
Is it possible to have a Rf value greater than 1?
No, it's not possible to have an RF value greater than one. Rf values are a ratio of the distance a spot has traveled to the total distance of the solvent front. Since the distance of the front is always greater than the distance of a spot, the Rf value is always less than 1.
What do the Rf values indicate about the relative solubility of the pigment in the the solvent?
The Rf value indicates the ratio of the distance a pigment travels compared to the distance the solvent travels on a chromatography plate. The higher the Rf value, the more soluble the pigment is in the solvent used for the chromatography.
What is the RF value for red ink blue ink and green ink?
the Rf value value is 8.44 as the particles are lighter than the solvent
What does it mean when the Rf value is less then 0?
When the Rf value is zero, it generally refers to the position of the substance in the chromatogram. This means it did not move of that origin point.
Why are Rf values always less than 1?
Rf values are distance of substance from origin divided by distance of solvent front from origin. As the substance travels with the solvent, the solvent will always have a greater or equal value to the distance travelled by substance. This means the highest value of Rf is 1.
What is the maximum and RF value can be?
The maximum RF value that can be obtained is 1.0. This means that the substance travels the full distance of the chromatography medium being used. Any RF value greater than 1 is not physically possible.
Is a Rf value of 0.95 strongly held on the paper or in the solution?
The retention factor, or Rf, refers to the ratio of time an analyte is retained in the stationary phase to the time it is retained in the mobile phase. An Rf value of 0.95 is strongly held on paper than in the solution.
Why polar compounds have less Rf value?
Polar compounds have a tendency to interact more strongly with the stationary phase in chromatography, which results in slower movement through the system and a lower Rf value. This is because polar compounds form stronger intermolecular attractions such as hydrogen bonding with the stationary phase, causing them to be retained for a longer period of time.
What is the rf value of cocaine?
Rf is about .45
What is the Rf value of salicylamide?
It will depend on the solvent system you are using.
