Chemistry A2 Module 6.3 Foundations

In thin layer chromatography, the ___ value is a comparison between how far a component has moved compared to the solvent.

In thin layer chromatography, if a component has travelled 1.65cm from the baseline and the solvent has travelled 4.85cm. What is the Rf value?

In gas chromatography, the time taken for a component to travel from the inlet to the detector is called what?
