Retention Factor (Rf)

Retention Factor

// Experiment Configuration

Theory & Mechanism

Reaction Context: Calculate Rf = Distance Spot / Distance Solvent. Understanding Retention Factor (Rf) is crucial for quantitative chemical analysis.

Formula Result = ds ÷ df

Applied Chemistry

This tool allows for the precise calculation of values based on standard stoichiometric and physical chemistry principles. Ensure all reagents (inputs) are in compatible units.

Sample Analysis

Dist Spot: 2.5 cm
Dist Front: 0.1 cm
Calculated Result = 2.5 ÷ 0.1

Lab Safety

Precision is key in chemistry. Verify significant figures and unit consistency (e.g., L vs mL, g vs kg) before synthesis.
