Analysis of Food Colorings by Paper Chromatography Introduction Paper Chromatography one method for testing the purity of compounds and identifying substances. This is a useful technique because it is relatively quick and requires small quantities of material. Separations in paper chromatography involve the same principles as those in thin layer chromatography. The substances are distributed between a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The stationary phase is usually

AP Biology Lab Four: Plant Pigments and Photosynthesis Abstract: The purpose of this lab is to separate and identify pigments and other molecules within plant cells by a process called chromatography. We will also be measuring the rate of photosynthesis in isolated chloroplasts. Beta carotene‚ the most abundant carotene in plants‚ is carried along near the solvent front because it is very soluble in the solvent being used and because it forms no hydrogen bonds with cellulose. Xanthophyll is found

Data and Conclusions: The purpose of this experiment was to learn how to use distillation and gas chromatography to separate and identify different compounds from a given mixture. There are several kinds of distillation methods. However‚ the method that we used in this experiment was fractional distillation. This method is used when trying to separate two different volatile compounds whose boiling points differ by 40-50°C or more. If the boiling points are too close‚ this method

photosynthesis in Ivy disks Background: All plants are autotrophs meaning they create their own food from inorganic chemicals in their surrounding. In the case of food‚ plants use CO2 to create glucose. In addition to the inorganic chemicals‚ plants use sunlight to create their glucose because the photosynthesis reaction is endothermic. The rate of this reaction‚ in turn‚ can be measures. And this lab uses oxygen which is created as a result of the photosynthesis reaction. Since

Lab #2: Energy in Cell Virtual Lab - Week 3 NAME: ________________________________________ 1. What is the importance of the light and dark reactions in photosynthesis? Photosynthesis works by absorbing light. Our sun gives off energy and the chlorophyll from the plant absorb this energy. The energy is then used to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen and then they combine hydrogen and carbon dioxide to make sugars. 2. What happens to food energy during photosynthesis? During

5.05 Mixtures and solutions Lab report Ink Chromatography Chromatography is also used to compare and describe chemical substances. The chromatographic sequence of sorbed substances is related to their atomic and molecular structures. A change in a chemical substance produced by a chemical or biological reaction often alters the solubility and migration rate. With this knowledge‚ alterations or changes can be detected in the substance. Chromatography serves mainly as a tool for the examination and

Introduction Flash-Column Chromatography is another useful technique used to separate and purify complex mixtures of compounds. In this experiment‚ TLC is used to determine the best solvent system for the column. Due to Flash-Column Chromatography1 being an inexpensive technique‚ many scientist use this process for drug and natural product purification. Method By using the information from Experiment 6B‚ the TLC solvent system used was 30% EtOAc: 70% Hex. Experiment 7 was broken into two parts‚
