Answer:

0.1

Explanation:

The retention factor is the ratio of distance traveled by sample to distance traveled by solvent. Its values range between 0-1. Zero means that the solvent is too nonpolar and its polarity must be reduced. An Rf of 1 means that the solvent is too polar and its polarity must be decreased. Two substances must differ in Rf at least by 0.1 to be effectively separated by chromatography.
