Question

Assume that two substances, A and B, can be separated in a particular paper chromatographic system. Write Equation for A and b. Use these two equations to derive a third equation for (da-db).


What are the two equations and how do you define dA-dB?

Assume that two substances, A and B, can be separated in a particular paper chromatographic system a. Write Equation (2) for A and for B. Use these two equations to derive a third equation for (dA-da). b. Define dA -da b. Define da-d c. Using your derived equation in (a), explain what is meant by the statement, "the longer the run the better the separation."

Explanation / Answer

dA equals Rf(A)/d solution

dB equals Rf(B)/d solution
