Introduction
Chromatography is simply separating components of a mixture (ThermoFisher,2019). In organic chemistry, this separation is based on the difference in attractions of the compounds in the mixture, to mobile phase and stationary phase. There are three types of chromatography that is used widely in organic chemistry which includes Thin Layer Chromatography, Gas Liquid Chromatography, and Column Chromatography (Weldegrima, 2023). The two methods utilized in this experiment are Thin Layer Chromatography and Column Chromatography. Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) is a simple and fast way to analyze and identify compounds. TLC utilizes polarity differences, mobile and stationary phases to identify compounds. If the sample placed on a TLC plate has a greater attraction towards the mobile phase it will travel more faster and if the sample has greater attraction towards the stationary phase, it will travel slower (Weldegrima, 2023). The opposing solvent will be different from the samples in polarity, and on which phase it has more attraction to on the TLC plate. This allows for proper identification and analyzing of the sample compounds. The second type of chromatography used in this experiment is column chromatography. This type of chromatography is more useful in purification, separation, and isolation of compounds (Weldegrima, 2023). This technique also uses the differences in polarity and differences in the attraction towards stationary and mobile phases to separate compounds. In column chromatography, the stationary phase is achieved via silica gel or similar compound (Chem. Libre, 2020). The solvent flows through the silica gel in a column and is essential in the purification component of column chromatography. Experimental Section Thin Layer Chromatography -

Let it dry -
Check under UV light again -
Record Rf values -

Add spinach and 15ml of ethyl acetate into an Erlenmeyer flask -
Crush spinach with spatula for 15 mins -
-
Decant the solution into another Erlenmeyer flask -
Add anhydrous sodium sulfate -
Remove the remaining solvent with an aspirator trap, over a steam bath -
Dissolve the solid in 5-6 drops of 1:1 solution of ethyl acetate and petroleum ether solution -
Save a couple drops in vial for TLC in a closed vial -
-
Obtain 6 small test tubes -
Wet the column with petroleum ether and let it drop down, use air to push the solvent down. -
Add spinach and ether to the column -
Keep the column running until the first colored substance
-
Collect the colored liquid in test tubes and record values
-
Transfer colored fractions to a 50 ml Erlenmeyer flask and evaporate solvent with aspirator
-
-
Obtain TLC plate
-
-
-
