How polarity of solvent affects the Rf in paper chromatography(in plant pigment chromatography)?
The plant sample we use is Spanish which contains chlorophyll a, b, carotene and xanthophyll. The solvent using is petroleum ether and acetone. Acetone is a bit polar than petroleum ether, so what would happen to Rf if I change the proportion of petroleum ether and acetone, for example, change from 9:1 to 1:9 or even 10:0 and 0:10.
If you can give the reference then that's the best.
Thanks for helping!

Introduction Your instructor has prepared an extract of chloroplast pigments from fresh green grass or fresh spinach. A blender was used to rupture the cells, and the pigments were then extracted with acetone, an organic solvent. Work- ing with one other student, begin this exercise by separating the pigments extracted using paper chromatography. To do this, you will apply the pig- ment extract to a cylinder of chromatographic paper. You will then place the ylinder in a jar...
