Question
What will happen to the Rf values of the pigments if you were to increase the relative concentration of acetone in the developing solvent
Answers
You haven't told us enough about what you are doing to be able to answer the question.
Increasing concentration of acetone increases the polarity of the solvent. The distance travelled by the pigment on the silica or alumina will be larger.
Rf = distance the pigment travelled/distance the solvent travelled
So Rf value increases.
Rf = distance the pigment travelled/distance the solvent travelled
So Rf value increases.
