Question 1: You have carried out an investigation into the pigments that make up chlorophyll. Use the chromatogram you obtained when carrying out this investigation. Clearly explain the separation technique of paper chromatography in terms of partition. Calculate the Rf value of one of the constituent pigments and compare it to the book value. A paper chromatography was used to separate the pigments that make up chlorophyll to analyse‚ identify‚ and quantify the components‚ using paper (stationary

small amount of the unknown (approximately the tip of the spatula was used for all the pigments) was added into each clean dry test tube. For the first test 1 mL of 3 M of HNO3 was added. As soon as the acid came into with the solid‚ the pigment was observed to dissolve while also turning the solution into a pale clear colour. The same amount was used for the HCl reagent. As soon as the acid touched the pigment it yielded in a clear solution (solid dissolved after a few shakes). When the KI was added

The results produce a graph with negative correlation‚ a curve that has a negative gradient. The graph shows that as the temperature is increased‚ the colorimeter reading is decreased. The structure

is composed of a phospholipid layer‚ which is semi-permeable and possesses the ability to control the movement of diffusion. Within the centre of a cell‚ the vacuole that is responsible for storage and the maintenance of osmotic balance can be located. In this study‚ we are using beets to study these cellular structures. Beet is a plant whose cells contain a characteristic red pigment‚ called betacyanin. It is located in the vacuole‚ which is surrounded by the tonoplast membrane (Biology 107 Lab

Introduction The purpose of this experiment is to validate the effectiveness of different types of disinfectants and antibiotics on microbes. It was hypothesized that antibiotic products work better than regular products such as soap‚ hand sanitizer etc. According to the handout that was provided in this laboratory work‚ it was believed that many of the environs occupied by individuals are exposed to different types of microbes and methods of eradicating such microbes has been studied over the years

HSC Chemistry First Hand Investigation 2009 Scientific Report Aim: To carry out a fist hand experiment in the extraction of red cabbage pigment‚ use this extracted pigment to standardize against know pH’s‚ test 5 household items to determine the possible pH of these items by using the standardization and assess the pigment’s ability to be used as a Universal Indicator. Risk Assessment: When dealing with fire‚ the Bunsen burner should always be switched to the safety flame before lighting.

CHAPTER ONE 1.0 Introduction 1.1 Background of Study Cocoyam (Colocasia spp and Xanthosoma spp) is grown in the tropics and sub-tropical regions of the world particularly in Africa for human nutrition‚ animal feed‚ and cash income for both farmers and traders (Onwueme and Charles‚ 1994). Cocoyam is vegetatively propagated using the corms and to a lesser extent the cormels. As food for human consumption‚ the nutritional value of the various parts of cocoyam is primarily caloric (Davies et al

Therefore‚ it was difficult for this division to access to capital‚ major investment would violate their mandate‚ and payback period was set at two to three years. However‚ the Pigments division head recently proposed the plan for major investment in comprehensive modernization of a manufacturing plant in Newport which was the only global source for Sfr 130 million in sales of Quinacridone (HPP) pigments.
