Candy Chromatography is a fun project, plus it has to do with candy. Candy Chromatography is an experiment to find out the true colors of the dyes in candy. When you put a skittle or an M&M in your hand in hot weather, the candy tends to bleed the color. And sometimes it shows more than one color. (For example, Beth Touchette explains that “When you were a toddler, you might have insisted on eating only one color of M&Ms because. After some experimentation, you probably realized that the food coloring in M&Ms and other candies add only color, …show more content…
(As The Editors Of Encyclopædia Britannica say “Paper chromatography, technique for separating dissolved chemical substances by taking advantage of their different rates of migration across sheets of paper. The method consists of applying the test solution or sample as a spot near one corner of a sheet of filter paper. The paper is initially impregnated with some suitable solvent to create a stationary liquid phase. An edge of the paper close to the spot is then immersed in another solvent in which the components of the mixture are soluble in varying degrees. The solvent penetrates the paper by capillary action and, in passing over the sample spot, carries along with it the various components of the sample.”) they explain what and how paper chromatography is used for. They all have to do with colors. Having to do with finding the real dyes in colors. (As Science Buddies explain “What color is black ink? Sometimes things are not just what we think they are. Often things can be broken down into component parts. One way to find out it to use a common chemistry technique called chromatography.”) This quote explains that there can be many object in just one object, just like paper chromatography. The paper chromatography experiment it tested to see what kind of dyes are just in one
