Rf value is the ratio of the distance traveled by the solute to that of the solvent front on the paper used in chromatographic separation.

From the image it is clear the distance traveled by solvent front = 7.3 cm

Distance traveled by the component -1 of the mixture = 1.4 cm

Distance traveled by the component -2 of the mixture = 3.0 cm

Distance traveled by the component -3 of the mixture = 4.5 cm

Distance traveled by the component -4 of the mixture = 6.5 cm

Rf value of component-1 = \frac{1.4 cm}{7.3 cm} =0.192

Rf value of component-2 = \frac{3.0 cm}{7.3 cm} =0.410

Rf value of component-3 = \frac{4.5 cm}{7.3 cm} =0.616

Rf value of component-4 = \frac{6.5 cm}{7.3 cm} =0.890

b) Samples can be separated from a mixture using chromatography as the relative affinities for the compounds towards the paper (stationary phase) and the solvent(mobile phase) are different. Each component spends different amounts of time on the stationary phase depending on it chemical nature. So, the components in a mixture can be separated based on their polarities and relative degrees of adsorption on the stationary phase.

As the tempreture of a liquid increases the solubility of a liquid of that liquid
anzhelika [568]
As the temperature increases, the solubility of the solute in the liquid also increases.  This is due to the fact that the increase in energy allows the liquid to more effectively break up the solute.  The additoin of energy also shifts the equilibrium of the reation to the right since it takes energy to dissolve most things and you are adding more of it (this is explained with Le Chatlier principles).

I hope this helps and also I assumed that your question involved the solubility of an ionic substance in a solvent like water.  If that was not your question feel free to say so in the comments so that I can answer your actually question.
