Following chromatogram was developed by adsorption of compound 'A' on a 6 cm TLC glass plate. Retardation factor of the compound 'A' is_____ \(\times 10^{–1}\).
Show Hint
For Rf calculations:
• Measure the distances accurately for the solute and solvent front.
• Ensure the units for both distances are consistent.
• Multiply the calculated Rf value by 10−1 if required.
Correct Answer: 0.6
Solution and Explanation
1. Retardation Factor (\(R_f\)):
The \(R_f\) value is defined as:
\[R_f = \frac{\text{Distance traveled by the solute (A)}}{\text{Distance traveled by the solvent front}}.\]
2. Given Data:
Total length of the TLC plate = 6 cm.
Let the solute travel 3.6 cm and the solvent front travel 6 cm.
3. Calculate \(R_f\):
\[R_f = \frac{3.6}{6} = 0.6.\]
4.Convert to \(10^{-1}\) Factor:
\[R_f \times 10^{-1} = 6 \times 10^{-1}.\]
Final Answer: \(0.6\).
Top Questions on reaction mechanism
- Given below are two statements:
Statement I: The dipole moment of R–CN is greater than R–NC and R–NC can undergo hydrolysis under acidic medium to produce R–COOH.
Statement II: R–CN hydrolyses under acidic medium to produce a compound which on treatment with SOCl$_2$, followed by the addition of NH$_3$ gives another compound (X). This compound (X) on treatment with NaOCl/NaOH gives a product, that on treatment with CHCl$_3$/KOH/$\Delta$ produces R–NC.
