3. sample of the unknown substance is spotted
3. filter paper placed in a small amount of solvent
4. solvents the mobile phase
5. components of the mixture dissolve in the solvent and travel up the filter paper
6.the resulting pattern is called the chromatogram
7. dyes move up the paper separate and create series of blogs - 5what 2 things affects the amount of time the molecules spend in each phase?1. solubility in the solvent
2. attraction to the paper - 6What is a Rf value?The travelled distance by the dissolved substance divided by the distance travelled by the solvent.
