Question

Can you please calculate, and show calculations, for the R_f values for the compounds in the following picture. From 1-3, (left to right) they are trans-stilbene, 9-fluorenone as shown by yellow coloration, and benzoic acids. These were present in Ethyl acetate, as shown by the E on the strip. This solvent has traveled the entire strip, so take that as the distance for solvent.
