  • What is a formulation
    A specific compound for a useful purpose - tied to a formula
  • What are the two phases called in chromatography?
    Mobile phase, stationary phase
  • In paper chromatography, how many spots will a pure substance form on the paper?
    One
  • Give the formula to work out the Rf value of a substance
    Rf = Distance moved by substance / Distance moved by solvent
  • Would you expect the Rf value of a substance to change if you changed the solvent used in the chromatography experiment?
    Yes
