    Introduction Paper chromatography is a method using a chromatography paper to identify the many mixtures of one simple color. The word chromatography comes from the Greek words‚ "chroma‚" meaning color‚ and "grafein‚" meaning to write. The process of this experiment is to place a colored dot‚ such as marker ink‚ onto the chromatography paper‚ one centimeter away from the triangular tip. Next dip your chromatography paper into the solvent‚ not allowing it to touch the colored dot. Let it sit for

    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:

    Chromatography of Photosynthetic Pigments Abstract In this experiment a process of chromatography was used to separate chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b‚ xanthophyll‚ and beta carotene. When these pigments were obtained they were used to measure the wavelengths by way of spectrophotometer of each and the total of all the pigments wavelength. Introduction Photosynthesis is a process by which plants use the sunlight to convert it from light energy into chemical energy. This equation shows us how

    Tittle: Separation of leaves pigment. Introduction The photosynthetic pigment is used to absorb light during the process of photosynthesis. There are five pigments usually found in spinach leaves: Carotene (yellow)‚ Phaeophytin (yellow-grey)‚ Xanthophyll (yellow-brown)‚ Chlorophyll a (blue-green)‚ Chlorophyll b(green). Photosynthetic pigment is located in the chloroplast of the leaf. The function of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b is to trap red and blue violet light when they carry out photosynthesis

    Performed: Dec. 12‚ 2012 Date Submitted: Jan. 9‚ 2013 Separation of Photosynthetic Pigment by Paper Chromatography I. INTRODUCTION There are different types of components in plant pigments. The most important and abundant chemical pigment found in plants is chlorophyll. This pigment exists in two forms; chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. Chlorophyll a‚ being the main photosynthetic pigment‚ has a primary purpose to convert light energy to chemical energy used by the plant itself. Chlorophyll

    Paper chromatography is a useful technique for separating and identifying pigments and other molecules from cell extracts that contain a complex mixture of molecules. The solvent moves up the paper by capillary action‚ which occurs as a result of the attraction of solvent molecules to the paper and the attraction of solvent molecules to one another. As the solvent moves up the paper‚ it carries along any substances dissolved in it. The pigments are carried along at different rates because they

    Title Page Chelsea Maksin Organic Chemistry Laboratory 1 Column and Thin Layer Chromatography: The Separation of Spinach Pigments Russ Hoburg 02/15/2012 Abstract The main goal in doing the column and thin layer chromatography was to separate spinach extract into its components based on polarity and then to analyze the components. The separation of the spinach extract was done using the column chromatography with the wet/slurry packing method. Alumina was inserted into the column to act as

    Column and Thin Layer Chromatography: The Separation of Spinach Pigment Abstract Spinach extract was separated into fractions containing compounds of similar polarity by column chromatography. Based on solid-liquid phase partitioning‚ this separation technique exploited the different polarity of the compounds in the spinach extract. Three fractions with different colors were obtained. The extract and its fractions were analyzed using thin layer chromatography (TLC). The TLC results showed that
