What is Paper Chromatography and Rf Values about?
Paper chromatography was used to separate colored chemicals and determine their purity. Various dyes were spotted on chromatogram paper and developed in ethanol solvent. Retention factor (Rf) values were calculated based on the distances traveled by the dyes and solvent front. Results showed that polar dyes like Methylene Blue and Indigo Carmine had lower Rf values than the non-polar methyl orange dye, indicating they interacted more with the polar ethanol solvent. Paper chromatography proved to be an effic
