    that were obtained through the use of paper chromatography resulted in four distinct colors. The very goal of this study was to determine what pigments are present and what there absorbance is through the use of paper chromatography and a spectrophotometer. These colors in turn related to pigments that were recognized as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotene, and xanthophyll. As for the results related to the observations found within the paper chromatography, these four pigments had a distinct relational

    experiment conducted in this lab was the paper chromatography experiment. This lab was to identify what chemical ions would move up the chromatography paper the farthest by capillary action. Capillary action in paper chromatography occurred when the solvent went up the paper; it was caused by the cohesion of water molecules and adhesion of the solid chromatography paper.1 In 1903, a Russian-Italian botanist named Mikhail Semyonovich first mentioned chromatography. He used a colour mixture from pigments

    In this experiment, the process of chromatography was taken place in order to identify the different types of pigments present in spinach leaf. This was done by carrying out two types of experiments which are thin layer chromatography (TLC) and paper chromatography. Both of the experiments were done using a similar procedure except that they both used a different stationary phase. Paper chromatography used paper, whilst, TLC used a silica plate. Propanone was used as the extraction solvent for spinach

    experiment performed, which separated carbohydrates in a very similar method with the use of paper chromatography (Inome, Y., & Yamamoto, A.). Proper pipetting technique, which is described by John Husler, was also demonstrated in this experiment. The technique was followed as to prevent contamination and deliver the right amount of solution each time (John Husler: 1983). The use of paper chromatography to separate plant pigments from spinach leaves worked very well. The pigments were separated

    to one another? Procedure: Place a small amount of solvent in separate beakers. Then place the mixture on chromatography paper and put the paper in each beaker. Controls: The chromatography paper used for each of the beakers would have to be the same because different chromatography papers may contain different amounts of cellulose, which would vary how attracted the solvent is to the paper. The amount of time allowed for the dyes to travel also has to be the same for each solvent in order to obtain

    creating colored candies such as paper chromatography. For instance, if one wants to know how M&Ms get their different colored shells would it be valid to use paper chromatography to come up with a reasonable solution? The purpose of this experiment is to physically separate the different dyes that are used to create the variety of M&M colors while using paper chromatography. Lastly, the experiment results were satisfactory, but were not 100% accurate. Paper chromatography does indeed separate mixtures

    The objective of this “Chromatography Lab” is to determine the number of substances and their Rf values present as dyes in different markers/inks. Chromatography deals with physically separating a mixture into it’s very own components. Chromatography is used for keeping compounds from mixtures. The process that is involved in it, is separating out a mixture of chemicals, that are most likely either in a liquid or gas form. This process allows the chemicals/substances, to past each other, which is

    Paper Chromatography Introduction Chromatography is used to separate mixtures of substances into their relative components. All forms of chromatography work on the same principle. They all have a stationary phase (a solid, or a liquid supported on a solid) and a mobile phase (a liquid or a gas). The mobile phase is the liquid or gas that flows through a chromatography system, moving the materials to be separated at different rates over the stationary phase, while the stationary phase is the solid

    Chromatography is a technique used to separate mixtures of substances into their components^2. It can be used to various activities such as separating different pigment of dyes and inks all the way to analyzing DNA sequences. Chromatography works on the basis that different molecules have different polarities. By allowing molecules to travel through a polar surface, it is not surprising that molecules will different polarities will travel a different amount. The substance, or stationary phase

    Introduction Chromatography is a separation technique used to obtain pure substances from mixtures based on attraction of intermolecular forces. There are two phases to the technique: the stationary and the mobile phase. The stationary phase provides support for compound migration and is immobile on a column or plate. The mobile phase is carries the compounds, which travel from a start to an end point. Amongst all of the various types of chromatography, paper, thin layer, liquid, high pressure liquid
