Why rf value are calculated immediately after the spots are visualized
Accepted Answer
Rf values are calculated immediately after the spots are visualized to ensure that the spots do not move or change shape before the measurement is taken. The Rf value is a measure of the distance traveled by a spot relative to the distance traveled by the solvent front, and it is used to identify compounds in a mixture.
