RF Value Calculator

Formula

To calculate the RF Value (\(Rf\)):

\[ Rf = \frac{DSU}{DSV} \]

Where:

\(Rf\) is the retention factor
\(DSU\) is the distance traveled by the solute
\(DSV\) is the distance traveled by the solvent

RF Value Definition

An RF value is a ratio of the distance of travel of a solute compared to a solvent.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Distance Traveled by Solute (\(DSU\)) = 5 units
Distance Traveled by Solvent (\(DSV\)) = 10 units

Using the formula:

\[ Rf = \frac{5}{10} = 0.5 \]

The RF value is 0.5.
