Question

keeping in mind that a sample moves with the solvent, is it possible to finish with an rf that is greater than 1?
yes or no
yes no

Explanation:

The \(R_f\) (retention factor) is calculated as \(R_f=\frac{\text{distance traveled by sample}}{\text{distance traveled by solvent}}\). Since the sample moves with the solvent, the distance traveled by the sample cannot exceed the distance traveled by the solvent. So, the value of \(R_f\) will always be less than or equal to 1.

Answer:

No
