Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the separation of compounds as a mixture instead of individual components should be speculated.

Concept introduction:

A separation technique used for the segregation of components of chemical mixture based on the difference between the adsorption of different components in the stationary and mobile phase is called column chromatography.

It is used for purification or segregation of compounds. It consists of two phases namely:

  1. Stationary phase (solid)
  2. Mobile phase (generally liquid)

Silica gel is commonly used as the stationary phase.
