Rf value = (distance by unknown/distance by solvent)
Substitute and solve for distance by the 0.81 material and the 0.21 material, then subtract one from the other to find the distance between them.
Choccamine and mintanol have Rf values of 0.81 and 0.21 respectively. What would the distance in centimetres (cm) between the two compounds be if the TLC was run on a TLC plate where the solvent front moved 8.9 cm from the baseline?
