On a thin layer chromatographic plate, an organic compound moved by 3.5 cm3.5 \mathrm{~cm} , while the solvent moved by 5 cm5 \mathrm{~cm} . The retardation factor of the organic compound is ________ ×10−1\times 10^{-1} .

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

Retardation factor = Distance travelled by sample/organic compound  Distance travelled by solvent =\frac{\text { Distance travelled by sample/organic compound }}{\text { Distance travelled by solvent }}

=3.55=7×10−1=\frac{3.5}{5}=7 \times 10^{-1}
