How Chromatography Helps The Human Race Chromatography is the separation of a mixture by passing it in solution or suspension or as a vapor (as in gas chromatography) through a medium in which the components move at different rates. “Chromatography is done by making of a mixture move past the solids‚ or across the surface of a solid‚ like paper. The mixture is poured onto a solid surface. As the different components of the liquid run down the solid‚ some of them move more slowly than other. A component

and improve the environment. The cost of gas is expensive enough and car companies are employing new tactics to alleviate most of the pollution that cars cause‚ by the use of electric cars‚ cars that have higher gas mileage‚ smaller cars‚ smaller engines and inspection regulations for each automobile to be done every year. As far as raising gas prices‚ I think that will cause more damage than good. People rely too much on transportation nowadays to make gas expensive. It would potentially put the
