What is the significance of solvent front in chromatography?
The solvent front marks the distance traveled by the solvent on the stationary phase.
How is the retention factor (R₁) calculated?
R₁ is calculated as the distance traveled by the substance (A) divided by the distance traveled by the solvent front (B).
What does a pencil mark provide in a chromatography experiment?
It serves as a reference point to measure the distance traveled by the solvent front.
What is the importance of keeping notes in a laboratory manual?
Maintaining accurate lab records helps ensure that experiments can be replicated and data can be analyzed.
