How is the retention factor calculated for a specific spot when doing the TLC analysis?
O Distance the spot traveled divided by the distance the solvent traveled
O Distance the spot traveled minus the distance the solvent traveled
O Distance the spot traveled minus the distance the solvent traveled multiplied by a 100%
O Distance the spot traveled plus the distance the solvent traveled divided by 100

Expert Solution

Step 1

We have to tell the process of calculating of retention factor for a particular spot.

The definition of retention factor for a spot is the ratio of the distance traveled by that spot to the distance traveled by the solvent.
