There were apparently 10‚000 gallons of the chemical missing. After running pressure tests on the pipelines‚ the plant manager found that one of the pipes had corroded and had been leaking the chemical into the ground. After stopping the leak‚ the company sank observation and sampling wells and found that the product was sitting

Chemical Separation Introduction: The objective of this experiment was to extract the pigments from spinach leaves‚ perform Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) on the spinach leaf extract‚ and then determine the best solvent mixture to use to separate the pigments in the extract. The pigments are located inside the chloroplast walls in the cells of the spinach leaves. In order to obtain the pigments the cell walls must be broken down thus exposing the pigment containing chloroplasts. Upon
