Question

question 2 (1 point)
the larger the rf, the more soluble the amino acid is in the mobile phase solvent.
true
false

Explanation:

The Rf (retention factor) value in chromatography is calculated as \( Rf=\frac{\text{distance traveled by solute}}{\text{distance traveled by solvent}} \). A larger Rf value means the solute (amino acid in this case) has traveled a greater distance with the mobile - phase solvent. This implies that the solute has a higher affinity (is more soluble) in the mobile - phase solvent as it is carried further along with the solvent flow.

Answer:

True
