2.) An unknown amino acid was subjected to paper chromatography with five amino acid standards in order to identify it. After visualization using ninhydrin, the distances travelled were measured as follows: Distances: E Solvent - 9.3cm D A - 1.1cm B - 4.7cm C - 2.4cm D - 7.6cm A E - 8.7cm х- 1.6сm a.) What is the Rf value of each amino acid sample? b.) Arrange the amino acids from most non-polar to least non-polar. c.) What is the possible identity of the unknown amino acid? Answer can be up to two amino acids.
