Extraction is a technique that is used to do this. It helps to separate mixture based on the solubility of the substance in two immiscible phases. Although these phases can be solid-liquid, only liquid-liquid extraction was used in this particular experiment. To do this, the desired mixture is first dissolved in a particular liquid and then a second liquid is used to extract it. The second liquid must not only be immiscible with the first liquid, but it also must dissolve the compound more than the first

Once the application of the spinach extract was finished, acetone, the solvent, was poured into the beaker. Then the cylinder was placed into the beaker to absorb the solvent with a jar top placed on top of it to hold it in place. The chromatography cylinder stayed in the beaker until the pigments in the spinach extract had been separated into different colors and was about 4-5 cm from the top of the paper. After this, the chromatography cylinder was removed to dry for the different pigments could be observed.<p>

The objective of this lab was to separate a mixture that consisted of elements and compounds. There are seven ways to separate a mixture which included paper chromatography, filtration, evaporation, simple distillation, fractional distillation, magnetism, and separating funnel. The only methods used in this lab were filtration, evaporation, magnetism, and separating funnel. The method of magnetism was used when the magnet was moved under the mixture to separate the iron. The process of filtration involved the use of a filter paper placed in a filter funnel. The funnel was placed in a beaker and the mixture of water, sand, and sodium chloride was poured into the funnel. The liquid part drained through the filter paper into the beaker, leaving the solid sand particles trapped on the filter. After the water and sodium chloride were in a beaker, the process of evaporation was used. The compound was boiled on a hot plate, which led to the water

Column one was a 30m x 0.25mm-i.d coated with 0.5 μm 5% diphenyl and 95% dimethyl polysiloxane (Rtx®-5). Column two was a 30m x 0.25mm-i.d coated with 0.5 μm midpolarity phase consisting of 50% phenyl and 50% dimethyl polysiloxane (Rxi®-17sil). Column three was a 30m x 0.25mm-i.d, capillary coating with 0.5 μm film of 100% trifluoropropyl methyl polysiloxane (Rtx®-200). The separation was performed using the same temperature program on all these stationary phases. The temperature program used for separation was consisted of an initial temperature hold at 80 °C for 1.0 min, ramped up to 300 °C at a rate of 30 °C/min, held at 300 °C for 0.5 min then ramped to 340°C at a rate of 5.0 °C/min and held at 340 °C for 5.0 min with a total run 21 min. (TP1). Column four was a 30m x 0.25mm-i.d, capillary coated with 0.5 μm film of midpolarity phase consisting of 35% phenyl and

Considerably, it is also important to note the purpose of the successive extractions of the aqueous layer twice with 10-15 mL of ether. This was due to satisfy the partition coefficient. The partition

Gel-Filtration Chromatography is a commonly used method used in order purify a protein from a mixture, by means of separations. Different biomolecules differ in size, or their molecular weight. In the gel matrix inside the chromatography column, there are gel beads which are porous to allow certain sized molecules to enter. The molecules that are able to enter the pores of the gel, are held in stationary phase and will elute from the column later on, these are usually smaller, to medium sized molecules. Larger molecules that are not able to fit in the pores will elute out of the column first, they are involved in mobile phase where they just go straight through the column without interacting with the gel beads. Smaller molecules will have a higher elution volume, while the larger molecules will have a lower elution volume. The volume to elute the protein is inversely proportional to the molecules size.

A liquid-liquid extraction is used when separating two different liquids that are immiscible. Often the two different liquids will be soluble in water and a solution that is organic. These two types of liquids will create two distinct layers of isolated solution. This is caused because one of the liquids will dissolve into the water and the other liquid will dissolve into the organic solution and since water is a polar molecule and the organic solution is a non-polar molecule the two layers will not mix at all. Therefore, creating two distinct layers that can then successfully be separated. In this experiment, the top layer of solution in the separatory funnel consists of the ether solution layer containing the unknown neutral compound and

The function of Columnar epithelial tissue is to surround glands and ducts, which then help in absorption, secretion of mucus, enzymes, and other substances. The columnar epithelial tissue is made of large epithelial cells that are specialized for absorption, and are commonly found in areas where there is a lot of wear and tear, such as in the digestive tract. The larger shape of the columnar cell allows this tissue to perform its function in two ways. First, it increases the number of organelles to synthesize needed material, and second, it increases surface area. Simple columnar tissue commonly surrounds glands and ducts, therefore the increased amount of organelles aid in the production of material that is secreted. Columnar epithelial

Chromatography Investigation Chromatography is a highly regarded technique used to separate the components of a mixture. It is based on the principle that each component possesses a unique affinity for a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The components that are more inclined to enter the mobile phase will migrate further on the chromatogram and distinguish themselves from the other components. The type of solvent used in chromatography is known to directly affect the separation of the mixture. In this experiment, thin-layer and column chromatography will be utilized to separate the numerous chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments of a spinach extract.

Paper chromatography is used to separate mixtures of substances into their components. There are different types of chromatography but they are all based on the same principal. Paper chromatography is an analytical method that is used to separate colored chemicals or substances, especially pigments. They all have a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The moving substance is called the mobile phase while the stationary phase stays put. The mobile phase flows through the stationary phase and carries the components of the mixture with it. The stationary phase is motionless and is the actual medium that performs the separation. Ninhydren reacts with amino acids to give colored compounds and detect the location of the amino acids. This is used because amino acids are colorless. Different components travel at different rates. Each one undergoes adsorption in a slightly different way and spends more or less time in either the solid or the liquid phase. Components of the samples will separate readily according to how strongly they absorb on the stationary phase vs. how readily they dissolve in the mobile phase.

Column chromatography in chemistry is a method used to purify individual chemical compounds from mixtures of compounds. In thin layer chromatography, the stationary phase is a thin layer of silica gel or alumina on a glass, metal or plastic plate. Column chromatography works on a much larger scale by packing the same materials into a vertical glass column. The desired mixture is added to

In 1941 Martin and Synge, described the discovery of liquid-liquid partition chromatography and also laid the foundation of Gas liquid chromatography and High performance liquid chromatography. They also introduced the concept of the Height Equivalent to the Theoretical Plate, which has since been adopted as the measure of Chromatographic efficiency.

Paper chromatography is a method used to separate colour soluble substances ink. There are two phases: mobile phase and stationary phase. The stationary phase is chromatography paper. The mobile phase is the solvent that travels up the stationary phase with the samples. In the process, a dot of sample ink is placed on the line of origin (Wikipedia, 2011). After the chromatography paper touch the solvent, the solvent will travel up slowly and separate the component. In paper chromatography, the attraction of soluble substances between the solvent and paper varies with more strongly attracted substances moving more slowly up the paper than those less strongly attracted to the paper (Refer to Figure 1).

Chromatography can be defined as a series of steps used to identify, analyze and separate compound. It is a method used to obtain components from a non-volatile mixture (Preethi, Harita & Rajesh, 2017). There are various types of chromatography separations methods. These include: column, gas, supercritical fluid chromatography and Thin layer chromatography. All these separation techniques operate under the same procedure;
