JEE Main 2021 (Online) 25th February Morning Shift Chemistry - Basics of Organic Chemistry Question 160 English
Fig : Paper chromatography for compounds A and B.

the calculated Rf value of A ________$$\times$$ 10-1.
Answer
4

Explanation

$${R_f} = {{Dis\tan ce\,travelled\,by\,compound} \over {Dis\tan ce\,travelled\,by\,solvent}}$$

On chromatogram distance travelled by compound is = 2 cm

Distance travelled by solvent = 5 cm

So, $${R_f} = {2 \over 5} = $$ 4 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$1 = 0.4
