D. From the bottom of the chromatography plate to the centre of the pigment spot and from the bottom of the chromatography plate to the solvent front
参考答案:
A
本题详细解析:
A
For thin-layer chromatography, the Rf value of a substance is the ratio of the distance the substance travels to the distance the solvent travels on the TLC plate. Therefore you need to measure the distance between the pencil line and the solvent front and the distance between the pencil line and the centre of each pigment spot. By taking these measurements, you can calculate the Rf value for each pigment spot. Therefore Choice A is correct.
Choices B, C and D are not the correct measurements for calculating Rf values.
