the plate. Then remove the chamber from the tank, draw a light line across the solvent front and outline all of the spots while under ultra-violet light. Measurement must now be taken of cach spot on both plates so that an Rf value may be calculated for each. Rf- distance traveled by substance distance traveled by solvent Remember, distances are measured from the lower line of the chromatogram, not the lower edge. Al distances are to be measured in centimeters-(cm)-and tenths-of centimeters (millimeters) so that each measurement is recorded with 2 significant figures. (Example 3.7 cm) When calculating the Rf values only 2 significant figures should be recorded (example Rf = 0.63).
