Rf Value:
Describes how a substance elutes. Elusion is a Physical property of a substance. Will always be less than one with no unit!
Chromatography
A method of seperating a mixture into single components to identify a compound or a mixture.
Based on the components soluability.(physical property)
Stationary phase
Solid and porous. paper
Mobile Phase
Liquid or gas that travels the stationary phase by capillary action. Solvant.
Elusion
The process that the mobil phase travels along the stationary phase
Rf value equation
Spot distance/solvant distance= <1, no unit
Detection Method
Used in conjunction with chromatogrophy to help identify the individual components after they are seperated
