Comparing chlorophyll a and b , which of the two traveled furthest up the tlc plate ? Why is that ? 

1. Draw a simple sketch of your TLC plate to the right, indicating the location of the bands
you see and which pigments you think they are.

The Retardation Factor (R) is a way to normalize the separation of substances among different
TLC plates using the same developing solution, and gives the user a relative difference in the
separation of the substances. It is calculated as:
green

tion
Rf
distance from line to spot
yellow

distance from line to developing solution front

2. Using a ruler calculate the Rf values for your separated pigments and log them into the
table below, starting with the pigment closest to the solvent front (top).
