What is a pure substance? What are it’s properties?

What is the equation for Rf value?
Rf=distance moved by substance/distance moved by solvent
distance moved by solvent measured by/in middle of dye
What should you remember to do in the
chromatography practical?
1.Draw start line in pencil
2.Make sure solvent level is below the start line
