CHM121 Experiment Discussion (10 points scale)
Title: Separating and identifying FD&C dyes using paper chromatography
(0.5 points)
Name:
Youstena Khalil , Section 27800
Partner’s name: Brianna Taliento
Instructor: Xizhe Zhao
Purpose (1 points)
The purpose of this lab is to use paper chromatography to determine retention factors, separate
and identify FD&C dyes, and identify these dyes in unknown mixtures and commercial products.
Fundamental principle or theory behind the experiment (2.5 points)
The fundamental principle behind the experiment is paper chromatography, which separates
mixtures into their components based on differences in the rate of migration through a
stationary phase (chromatography paper) caused by intermolecular interactions between the
components and a mobile phase (solvent).
Method: (1 points)
The method for the experiment involves preparing chromatography paper with labeled origin
lines, spotting samples of FD&C dyes, unknown mixtures, and commercial products on the
paper, developing the chromatograms by placing them in beakers with 0.1% sodium chloride as
the mobile phase, and using the retention factor (Rf) values to identify and characterize the
dyes based on their separation patterns and color observations.
Discussion: (4 points)
Use your data to explain why and how your data support your findings. Your
data should be reported and analyzed here. Discuss about the possible
experimental error(s) and what you have learned from this experiment.
Our experiment focused on separating and identifying different types of FD&C dyes using paper
chromatography. We aimed to figure out which dyes were present in certain unknown mixtures.
After conducting the experiment, we were able to make some clear identifications.
1.
Identifying the Unknown Mixtures
:
We found out that "unk#A" contained two dyes, "R3" and "Y6."
Similarly, "unk#B" turned out to have two different dyes, "B2" and "Y5."
For "unk#A," the Rf values (a measure of how far a dye moves on the paper) for "R3"
and "Y6" matched what we expected. The colors we observed also matched the known
colors of these dyes.
For "unk#B," the Rf values for "B2" and "Y5" aligned with our conclusions, and the
observed colors matched as well.
Possible Mistakes
: However, it's important to recognize that experiments can have some errors:
1.
Dye Concentration
: The concentration of dyes in commercial products might not be the
same as in our standard solutions, which can affect the results.
2.
Spotted Area
: The way we placed the dyes on the paper might not have been consistent,
which could affect the Rf values.
3.
Paper Quality
: The quality of the paper we used can vary, which could lead to variations
in the separation of dyes.
4.
Solvent Concentration
: The strength of the sodium chloride solution can also play a role
in the results.
Takeaways
: This experiment taught us how paper chromatography and Rf values work. We saw
that different dyes behave uniquely in this process, which can be super helpful for identifying
things in mixtures. In the real world, these techniques are used in fields like forensics and food
quality control. Understanding them is important for scientific and industrial applications.
Conclusion: (1 points)
Briefly conclude your results.
In conclusion, we successfully identified the components of two unknown mixtures. "Unk#A"
was found to contain "R3" and "Y6," while "Unk#B" contained "B2" and "Y5." Our experiment
demonstrated the effectiveness of paper chromatography and Rf values in separating and
identifying different dyes, providing valuable insights into analytical techniques used in various
scientific and industrial applications.

Question: Using a sample of aspirin for HPLC analysis. If the aspirin was contaminated (wet) with trace amounts of a solvent such as ethyl acetate, hexane, or water, would this contaminant be detected and appear as a peak in the HPLC chromatogram? Briefly explain based on the type of detector used in HPLC analysis and what type of compounds can be detected.
My Answer: The HPLC analysis detects chromophores, compounds with multiple double bonds. Since water, ethyl acetate, and hexane all lack multiple pi bonds this will not be detected in the HPLC.
-Question for you, is this complete (and correct), and should I include anything about UV detection? Is UV detection used in HPLC? I thought it was only used on TLC to show compunds that arent visable.
