Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason as to why the samples can often be separated into their components by chromatography is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Chromatography is the technique used to identify the components of a mixture. The separation of mixture is based upon the polarity of the components present in the mixture. The division of the distance covered by the component of a compound to the distance covered by solvent in the chromatography technique is known as the Rf value. The full form of Rf value is retention value.

PAPER CROMATOGRAPHY • Define chromatography • Demonstrate an understanding of the process of chromatography • Describe the steps involved in a chromatography investigation Explanation Coloured inks are often made up of several different inks. Each colour of ink will get carried a different distance by the water, allowing you to see all of the different inks. Try this with different colours to see what actually goes into a colour. This technique is called chromatography and can be used in chemistry to find out what is in an unknown mixture. II. Materials .Felt tip pens (non-washable) . Kitchen roll .A bowl or cup . Water • Scissors III. Health and safety • Make sure that you thoroughly clean any equipment after the experiment before using for food IV. Procedure Method 1 1. Take a sheet of kitchen roll and draw a simple picture with a non-washable felt tip pen. 2. Place the sheet over an empty bowl. This is to keep the paper from getting too wet. 3. Carefully add a few drops of water…
Consider four distinct physical properties: boiling point, melting point, solubility, and density. Which of these physical properties do you think allows thin layer chromatography (TLC) to work? Choose one then, explain your reasoning.
2. The goal behind suction filtration is to remove soluble impurities that are on the surface of the crystals. Therefore, why can't you simply use suction filtration instead of recrystallization to purify an impure solid?
