In a thin layer chromatography experiment, a plate of length 8.67 cm was used and a horizontal line was made at 1.11 cm above the bottom of the plate. After running the experiment (developing and drying), a spot was observed at 4.59 cm from the bottom of the plate, and the solvent front was 7.56 cm from the bottom of the plate. What is the Rf value?
