Plate F: front- 49 mm A- 4.5 mm B- 12 mm C- 16 mm D- 40.5 mm E- 34 mm

Ra- .092 Rb- .245 Rc- .327 Rd- .827 Re- .694

Plate G: front- 48 mm A- 9 mm B- 21.5 mm C- 10 mm D- 40 mm E- 25 mm

Ra- .188 Rb- .448 Rc- .208 Rd- .833 Re- .521

1: No, most of the R values between the plates are clearly different.

2: Is solvent F, solutes C, D, and E were more soluble as they moved further

and left less of a streak behind in their origins. Alternatively in solvent G,
samples A and B moved farther and left less of a streak.

3: Dye D was most strongly absorbed, followed by C, B, and A, as can be seen

in the mixture labeled E.

4: It would migrate even further, as there is already a noticeable difference

between F and G.

5: The amount traveled is based off of three things: the solvent, the size, and
its charges (partial or ionic). Using standardized solvents and conditions, the
amount travelled can be matched to known lists of molecules.
