Chromatography: How can we separate a mixture? Purpose The chromatography lab is to understand how molecules with similar molecular properties can be separated with paper chromatography. These differences will be interpreted to see the distinction of separate chemical substances. Pre Lab Questions 1. Explain capillary action as it pertains to water and paper. Capillary action makes water draw up the paper. As paper absorbs water mixes with the solutions in the paper. 2. What is the

Thin Layer Chromatography Introduction Thin Layer Chromatography or TLC is a technique used as a separation and identification technique. There are many forms of chromatography‚ but one thing that remains constant throughout all of the types of chromatography is that there is a stationary phase and a mobile phase. In the case of TLC the stationary phase is the silica gel on the TLC tray. Procedure Chromatograph method is a method of separating mixtures of two or more compounds. Two phases

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

Figure 1: Affinity chromatography of fumarase with the Ni2+-NTA-agarose column. Extract (9.9 mL) containing yeast (3.76g) in extraction buffer containing 0.1% Igapel CA-630 and protease inhibitors were pumped through Ni2+-NTA-agarose column. Fractions were collected by 1.5 mL portions by use of wash buffer (20.0 mL)‚ imidazole elution buffer (26.3 mL)‚ and wash buffer (10.0 mL)‚ again. Absorption readings were taken for all fractions with a Cary50 set at 280nm. The fumarase activity was determined

based upon the Rf values‚ the dyes in the green Kool-Aid are Red 40 and Yellow 6 as those are closet Rf value to the numeric data collected and calculated from the Kool-Aid chromatogram. However‚ the chromatography paper in both trials display that the dyes in Kool-Aid are a form of yellow and a form of blue because one color band was of a blue tint and the other‚ a yellow tint. Therefore‚ based on this qualitative data‚ the dyes in the green Kool-Aid are Blue 1‚ which has a an Rf of 0.84‚ and

Chromatography – Analyzing Analgesics by TLC and Isolation of β-Carotene by Column Chromatography Introduction/Background: Flavonoids are an important group of additives that can be defined as pure substances either natural‚ extracted from raw materials or synthetic. Chromatography is the separation of two or more compounds or ions caused by their molecular interactions with two phases – one moving and one stationary (Weldegirma 2012). Three types of chromatography are used

In this Laboratory experiment‚ my lab partner Alexander and I were able to understand thoroughly the physical and chemical properties of salt (NaCl) and sand (SiO2). Followed by the right procedure we were able to design and test out the components of both NaCl and SiO2 in order to separate the unknown mixture that we were able to find out about. We were also given the task to provide the percent composition of the mixtures. Therefore‚ the separation of components among this experiment allowed us

Purification of Recombinant Green Fluorescent Protein (rGFP) From E. coli strain‚ BL21(DE3)‚ Using Ni2+-Agarose Affinity Chromatography Abstract: The purpose of these series of experiments was to express and purify recombinant Green Fluorescent Protein (rGFP) from the E. coli strain‚ BL21(DE3) by beginning with its purification via a Ni2+-agarose affinity chromatography column. The His6 tag of the rGFP bound to the Ni2+-agarose column and washes and elutions were obtained‚ with elution 3 containing

Post Lab #4- Column Chromatography Organic Chem 3418-2 March 3‚ 2011 Theoretical Background- The fluorene and fluorenone mixture was separated by first dissolving the mixture in heptane. Since “like dissolves like”‚ fluorene dissolves with the non-polar heptane and the polar fluorenone dissolves in the polar ethyl acetate solvent. This phenomenon was illustrated in class before the experiment‚ when it was pointed out why water will not dissolve fluorene‚ fluorenone‚ or transstilbene
