1.8 explain how information from chromatograms can be used to identify the composition of a mixture.

Chromatography paper is placed in a solvent, the different compounds will travel at different speeds (due to the size of their particles.)

Rf values
The Rf value is calculate by Distance moved by compound divided by Distance moved by solvent.

Chromatogram
The shape on the chromatogram can be compared with that of known substances and where they match they are the same substance.
