Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying pigments based on Rf values obtained in a lab experiment. Participants are exploring the relationship between specific Rf values and corresponding pigments, while also addressing the context of the assignment and the effort required from the original poster.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Homework-related, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • The original poster has Rf values of 0.15, 0.19, 0.23, 0.28, 0.35, and 0.47, with known correspondences for 0.23 (Neoxanthin) and 0.35 (Violaxanthin).
  • Some participants suggest that the original poster should provide more context about their assignment and methodology to receive better assistance.
  • One participant shares a link that may help the original poster with their assignment.
  • There is a critique regarding the age of the original post, suggesting that it may not be relevant to current discussions.
  • Responses indicate a potential conflict over the appropriateness of critiquing the original poster's efforts.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on how to assist the original poster, with some emphasizing the need for more context and others focusing on the critique of the post's age and the nature of the responses.

Contextual Notes

The discussion lacks detailed information about the experimental setup and the criteria for identifying pigments, which may affect the ability to provide accurate assistance.

I'm trying to find the corresponding pigment to the Rf values I obtained in a lab. However, I'm not having any luck, and I was wondering if someone here could help me out. The Rf's that I have are: 0.15, 0.19, 0.23, 0.28, 0.35, and 0.47. I already have 0.23 = Neoxanthin, and 0.35 = Violaxanthin. Does anybody know what pigments correspond to these Rf's or did I just make a blunder? Any help would be great, thanks.

You need to show some of your own effort here before we can offer any help. You're going to have to provide a little more context to your assignment...what did you do, how did you do it, what was the purpose?
 
Is it that hard to check that original post is already a year old?
 
Well, no, now that I think of it. Do you cruise around looking for things to criticize? Is it really such a terrible error that you had to make something of it?
 
I suppose you will not repeat it, so objective achieved :smile:
