Discussion Using the Thin Layer Chromatography experiment‚ caffeine was found to be the most polar due to the fact that it stayed closer to the stationary phase. Caffeine contains four amine groups that are extremely polar as a result of the hydrogen bond and amide functional group. Acetaminophen was found to be the second most polar analgesic drug tested. Acetaminophen contains a polar alcohol group on one side and amide group on the other but also includes non-polar functional groups that consisted

exchange Chromatography Ion exchange chromatography is a process for separating proteins and other molecules in a solution based on differences in net charge. Ion Exchange Chromatography relies on charge-charge interactions between the proteins in your sample and the charges immobilized on the resin of your choice. Ion exchange chromatography can be subdivided into cation exchange chromatography‚ in which positively charged ions bind to a negatively charged resin; and anion exchange chromatography‚ in

favorite candies? Chromatography can solve that for you. Chromatography is a separation technique used by scientists for separating both organic and inorganic compounds. There are four different types of chromatography: thin layer‚ liquid‚ gas‚ and paper‚ but for this lab paper chromatography will be used. Who invented chromatography? A Russian botanist named Mikhail Semyonovich Tsvet invented chromatography in 1901 while doing research on plant pigments. Why is chromatography so important? This

ANALYSIS OF MOUTHWASH Background Information: Commercial mouthwashes are mixtures of water‚ alcohol‚ dyes‚ flavorings‚ and other compounds. In this experiment‚ you will use gas chromatography to determine the alcohol content of the mouthwash. Since the volumes of alcohol and water are not additive when mixed‚ a calibration curve must be used. It will provide the correction factor needed for alcohol-water mixtures. The calibration curve will be prepared by placing a known amount of alcohol

TLC is used because it is “sensitive‚ fast‚ simple and inexpensive analytical technique”2 (Mohrig 151). The unknown solid (unknown #3 in this case) used in the experiment was obtained and added to a 2.5ml of Ethanol/dichloromethane in a test tube. This was the solvent used in the experiment because Dichloromethane volatility and ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds makes it a useful solvent for many chemical processes. The solid was already in powder form therefore we did not have

Size Exclusion Chromatography Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC) is the separation technique based on the molecular size of the components. Size exclusion chromatography is a kind of method to separate different size of molecules that put in solution. It was first discovered by two scientists who named Grant Henry Lathe and Colin R Ruthven. Both of them received the John Scott Award for this fabulous invention. There are various applications for Size exclusion chromatography such as biochemical

Objectives: To use the process of chromatography to separate plant pigments. To compare the plant pigments found in spinach and red leaf lettuce leaves. Hypotheses: I believe the spinach leaf in the acetone will have a higher pigment of chlorophyll a and the red leaf lettuce will have a higher pigment of anthocyanin. I believe the spinach leaf in distilled water will have a higher pigment of chlorophyll a and the red leaf lettuce will have a higher pigment of anthocyanin. Discussion Questions:

able to experimentally analyze and isolate amino acids by separation techniques. One such method of separation is thin layer chromatography (TLC). In this method‚ a silica coated aluminum plate is spotted with the solution being separated‚ and the plate is placed in a developing jar containing a small amount of solvent. With time‚ the solvent

Ink Chromatography Lab Background Information Paper chromatography is an analytical method that is used for separating and identifying mixtures of substances into their smaller parts. Paper chromatography works because the ink used contains several dyes (pigments) that when place on porous paper are dissolved in a solvent by capillary action. When the pigments (solutes) are dissolved in the solvent (water & alcohol mixture) they move through the paper at different rates depending on their
