Math Problem Statement
Solution
In the image, you are asked to calculate the value of substance A using the following formula:
From the details provided:
- Distance moved by substance A = 60 mm
- Distance moved by solvent = 80 mm
Now, let's calculate the value:
Therefore, the value of substance A is 0.75.
Would you like further details or explanations about this concept?
Here are some related questions for further learning:
- What does the value represent in chromatography?
- How can different substances be separated using chromatography?
- What factors can affect the value of a substance?
- What are some common applications of chromatography in scientific research?
- How does the polarity of the solvent influence the value?
Tip: Always ensure that the units for the distances in the calculation are the same (in this case, both in mm), so the ratio is meaningful.
