Background: Paper chromatography is one method for testing the purity of compounds and identifying substances. Paper chromatography is a useful technique because it is relatively quick and requires small quantities of material. Safety: Warnings: * Rubbing alcohol (or isopropyl alcohol) is flammable‚ so be sure to keep it away from high heat or heat sources. * Keep pigments and solutions away from your eyes‚ wash your hands carefully after coming in contact with any solutions or pigments‚ and clean

Lab 5 Column Chromatography: Isolation of Lycopene from Tomato Paste Reading: Zubrick‚ pages 79-82‚ 127-130‚ 138-139‚ 141-143‚ and 235-240 Pre-lab: look up the structure of lycopene. Introduction: Lycopene is the red pigment in ripe tomatoes and‚ as an antioxidant‚ helps to fight certain cancers. In this lab you will isolate lycopene from tomato paste. To do this you will first extract carotenoid pigments from the paste and then use column chromatography to isolate the lycopene from

Photosynthesis Homework April 8‚ 2013 Reviewing Your Knowledge 2. A pigment solution contains compound A with 4 polar groups and compound B with 2 polar groups. You plan to separate these compounds using paper chromatography with a non-polar solvent. Predict the location of the two bands relative to the solvent front. Explain your answer. Since compound A is probably more polar than compound B‚ compound B will move further in the chromatography. Since the solvent is non-polar‚ the less polar compound will

so that it is safe for drinking. Mixtures contain two or more substances that are not in a fixed ratio‚ and while some mixtures‚ such as concrete‚ are useful‚ others including salt water‚ are not as useful to us. Filtration‚ distillation‚ paper chromatography‚ and centrifugation are just a few methods used for separating mixtures. There are many methods of separating mixtures. A more commonly known and used method is filtration. Filtration separates mixtures using filter paper‚

and various amount of H2O2 and H2O. Solutions were left to react for 3 days‚ and analyzed by size exclusion chromatography and UV-Vis absorbances were taken. In the large scale experiments‚ approximately 100 mg of each compound was mixed with fixed amounts of Fe2+ and H20 and varying h2O2 amounts. They sat until the compound reacted away and were analyzed via size exclusion chromatography. They were then purified by dialysis in water for 3 days‚ changing water several times throughout.

Column Chromatography ________________________________________________ You have already performed two chromatography experiments: gas chromatography and thin layer chromatography. All chromatography experiments involve passing a mixture of analytes through a system that includes a mobile phase and a stationary phase. The partitioning of the analytes between these two phases determines the rate at which they pass through the system‚ and (in theory) allows them to be separated from one another. Column

Experiment # 4 Paper Chromatography 1. Why is the chromatogram developed in an essentially closed system? - The chromatogram is developed in a closed system in order to prevent the solvent to evaporate. Most solvents used in the chromatograph are toxic and flammable. It is also put in a close system to reduce the chance of outside factors affect the chromatograph. 2. What is the main advantage of 2-dimensional paper chromatography over a 1-dimensional one? - The

this reduction reaction ultimately come from water‚ which is then converted to oxygen and protons. Energy for this process is provided by light‚ which is absorbed by pigments. Chlorophylls absorb blue and red light and carotenoids absorb blue-green light but green and yellow light are not effectively absorbed by photosynthetic pigments in plants; therefore‚ light of these colors is either reflected by leaves or passes through the leaves(Arizona 2007). This is why plants are green. A certain colors
