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

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

Gabriel Alizaidy Liquid Chromatography September 14‚ 2009 Objective: To separate the components of unsweetened‚ grape flavored Kool-Aid. Procedure: Using two syringes‚ inject different concentrations of alcohol to extract red and blue dyes‚ and artificial flavoring. Data: Conclusion: Different dyes are shown when separated by different concentrations of isopropyl alcohol. Discussion of Theory: Chromatography‚ resolution and selectivity played major roles in making the experiment work

experiment is called chromatography. The materials used consisted of – 3 pieces of chromatography paper‚ a tall clear glass‚ water‚ table salt‚ 1 tsp. measuring spoon‚ an 8 oz. measuring cup‚ pencil‚ ruler‚ 6 washable markers‚ and paper towels. The markers used in this experiment have to be water soluble therefore I used washable markers made by Crayola. The colors I chose were brown‚ teal‚ red‚ orange‚ black‚ and green. The salt solution served as the mobile phase while the chromatography paper served

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

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

Encyclopædia Britannica Paper chromatography is used to separate "dissolved chemical substances". An example of dissolved chemical substances could be the pigments that make up a specific color‚ for example in a marker. When a chromatography paper experiment is done on a black marker‚ the experiment tends to separate all the different pigments that make up the color. In this experiment‚ the substance investigated was a black water soluble Giotto marker pen. Paper chromatography has two phases‚ the

BIOLOGY LAB REPORT NAME :princess cucumber TOPIC : 3.8 & 8.2 : PHOTOSYNTHETIC PIGMENTS RESEARCH QUESTION INTRODUCTION The photosynthetic pigments are responsible for absorbing and trapping light energy the major pigments of photosynthesis are the chlorophylls. The two chlorophylls found in green plants are chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. other pigments include carotenoids and phycobilins‚ sometimes referred to as accessory pigments. Carotenoids occur in all photosynthetic organisms‚ while

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this experiment was to extract plant leaf pigments and determining them by using the Rf values obtained from the paper chromatography technique. The hypothesis of the experiment was that all of the five listed pigments would be present in the extracted plant leaf according to the Rf values. PROCEDURE/APPARATUS: The equipments used were a 18 x 150 mm test tube with stopper‚ graduated cylinders‚ Erlenmeyer flask‚ mortar and pestle‚ metric ruler‚ tall jar‚ acetone‚ tiny
