The Process of Candy Chromatography
Candy chromatography

My experiment is called candy chromatography. This project is mainly about the colors that are mixed with other colors to make candy markers Koolaid and much more. I think that only the color of the candy is going to show up on the coffee paper. I think that threw the entire experiment the color in the candy is going to show up the entire time. I think this is going to happen because most of the colors are solid colors. The material and equipment used was a sample of candy such as M&M's, skittles, and Reese's pieces. Set food colors for comparison. Filter paper or coffee filters. 0.1% salt solution {1/8 tsp salt in 3 cups of water}. Clear plastic 9 oz cups. Blow dryer. Also you will need some toothpicks and small {1 oz} plastic cups. This are the materials and equipment we used for this experiment .the objective of the experiment is to use the technique of paper chromatography to show that it can be used to separate from each other in a mixture. To understand the principles of paper chromatography. The procedure for this experiment are:
1. Put 4 candies of the same color in a cup.
2. Add 5 or 6 drops of water.
3. When the white color of the candy comes out, remove and discard the candy.
4. Add 4 more candies of the same color. (Do not add more water).
5. Again, remove the candy when the candy is all white.
6. Repeat with three more colors of the candy the exact same way.
7. Put six small spots, 2 centimeters above from the edge of coffee filter paper
8. Put 1 centimeter of salt water {1/8 tsp salt in 3 cups water} in the vessel.
9. Place the coffee filter paper with upside down and making sure that the spots are not touching or below the water level.
10. Allow the water to rise on the paper until it is about a centimeter from the center of the paper.
11. Remove the paper from the vessel and use a hair dryer to dry the paper. This are all the procedures for this experiment.
While the experiment was taking place first it

    The first step was to prepare the two filter paper for the experiment so you can measure the different columns at the end of the experiment. For that to happen you have to draw a horizontal line with a pencil. The line has to be 1cm above the bottom. After that you draw nine cross lines along the horizontal line with a space between each cross line of 1.5cm. Now you have to mark each area with a shortcut of the substance you are going to put on the horizontal line. The next step is to prepare each of your substances in the 24-well plate. Once you put all the substances in the well plate and dissolved the color from the M&Ms and Kool Aid with some drops of water, you dip a clean toothpick in the dye. You mark carefully a little point on the horizontal in the center of the section you marked with the substance and make sure the point is not too big because otherwise the experiment won’t work as good. The filter paper needs to dry for a few minutes before you form both to a cylinder and staple it so it stays a cylinder. Before you can keep going with the experiment you have to take a 50ml plastic beaker and fill that one with 50ml distilled water, solve a pinch salt in the water and stir until you can’t see crystals anymore. Pour a little bit of that solution in a petri dish but make sure it will be below the horizontal line you draw on the filter paper. Set…

    Chromatography serves mainly as a tool for the examination and separation of mixtures of chemical substances. Chromatography is using a flow of solvent or gas to cause the components of a mixture to migrate differently from a narrow starting point in a specific medium, in the case of this experiment, filter paper. It is used for the purification and isolation of various substances. A chromatographically pure substance is the result of the separation. Because purification of substances is required to determine their properties, chromatography is an indispensable tool in the sciences concerned with chemical substances and their reactions.…

    (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…
