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

useful solvent for many chemical processes. The solid was already in powder form therefore we did not have to crush it but it the unknown was in a tablet form‚ one would need to reduce it to a powdery-like form in order to perform this Thin-Layer Chromatography experiment. The powder solution was thoroughly mixed with a glass rod in the test tube containing

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

distillation and gas chromatography based on their difference in boiling points. The boiling point of hexane is 69 degrees Celsius and the boiling point of toluene is 110 degrees Celsius. Three fractions were collected for both simple and fractional distillation. The first fraction was hexane since it had the lower boiling point. The second fraction was a mixture of toluene and hexane. The third fraction was toluene since it had the high boiling point of 110 degrees Celsius. Gas chromatography was also preformed

The purpose of this lab was to use gas chromatography to determine the relative amounts of the three components of gas products from the dehydration reaction of 1- and 2-Butanol with sulfuric acid and the dehydrobromination reaction of 1- and 2-Bromobutane with potassium tert-butoxide. E1 reactions are two-step unimolecular reactions. The first step of an E1 reaction occurs when a leaving group‚ which consists of a weak base‚ leaves an organic compound‚ leaving an intermediate carbocation. In the

Experiment 2: Fractional Distillation and Gas Chromatography Introduction: The purpose of this experiment was to separate a mixture of ethyl acetate (EtOAc) and toluene by using the method of fractional distillation and to analyze the fractions using gas chromatography (GC). ethyl acetate toluene Distillation is a method known as separating or purifying a liquid or mixture by vaporization and condensation. In a simple distillation‚ the liquids being separated boil below 150 0C at 1 atmosphere

COLUMN AND THIN LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHY Group 9 RAMOS‚ Sharina Joy; REYES Aina Marie; REYES Jallisa Maan; RUBIO‚ John Michael; SABINO Patricia Anne; SANTOS‚ Carlos Rafael ABSTRACT To separate the colored components of siling labuyo and to determine the purity of the components‚ the students performed a column and thin or solid-liquid chromatography procedure. The solid may be almost any material that does not dissolve in liquid phase. But for this experiment‚ the solid used by the students was

Chromatography is a laboratory technique for the separation of a mixture. The mixture is dissolved in a fluid called the mobile phase‚ which carries it through a structure holding another material called the stationary phase. The various constituents of the mixture travel at different speeds‚ causing them to separate. The separation is based on differential partitioning between the mobile and stationary phases. Subtle differences in a compound’s partition coefficient result in differential retention

Gas Chromatography Analysis of Product Mixtures Gas Chromatography Guidelines‚ Handout. Introduction Gas chromatography is a technique used to analyze chemical compounds that can be vaporized and separated in a gas phase column. Once separated‚ the analyzed substance is passed through a detector and data is obtained. The samples that we are going to analyze are: the EtOAc from Simple distillation‚ the Fraction 1‚ Fraction 2‚ and Fraction 3 from the Fractional Distillation. Experimental Procedure
