Given, an organic compound moved by 3.5cm
Solvent moved by 5cm
The Rf (retardation factor) value is the ratio of the solute’s distance travelled to the solvent’s distance travelled.
Retardation factor =DistancetravelledbysolventDistancetravelledbysample/organiccompound
By putting the values in the above formula,
Rf=53.5=7×10−1
