Question

In this chromatographic experiment, the solvent traveled 6 centimeters. For each band, calculate the Rf value and find the corresponding pigment.

Standard Rf values for pigments: Chlorophyll a 0.60 Chlorophyll b 0.50 Carotene 0.98 Xanthophyll 2 0.15

Answer 1

A = 1.2/6 = 0.20 Xanthophyll 2

B = 2.8/6 = 0.47 Chorophyll b

C = 3.5/6 = 0.58 Chlorophyll a

D = 5.8/6 = 0.97 Carotene
