From your results, which component had the highest Rf value and which had the lowest? Based on your answer from the previous question, what could be the reason behind some components having an Rf value higher than the others? Compare the qualities of the two components that rendered the highest and lowest Rf After performing the simulation, what do you think are the possible practical applications of chromatographic techniques that are relevant to your program NURSING?
