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

Chromatographic Separation of Sodium Fluorescein and Methylene Blue In this two-part lab the students will: • Learn the techniques associated with thin layer and column chromatography. • Determine the effects of the stationary phase in separating a mixture by chromatography. • Determine the effects of the mobile phase in separating a mixture by chromatography. • Conduct a separation using column chromatography. In the first week‚ the students will determine the best solvent system for

INTRODUCTION Plant pigments consist of four main chemicals. These are Chlorophylls‚ The carotenoids‚ Anthocyanin and Betacaine. The aims of this experiment is to separate the plant pigment into different colours using solvents and column chromatography. The hypothesis of this experiment is that this plant pigment from spinach will contain the chlorophyll pigment or may contain the others too. Chlorophyll: Chlorophyll a is the main component of the plant pigments. This is used for the most

Chromatic Separation of Plant Pigments from Tomato Paste ABSTRACT In column chromatography a mixture is dissolved in a solvent and poured over a column of solid adsorbent then eluted with the same or a different solvent. This method is often used for preparative purposes; when a relatively large amount of the mixture and the components need to be isolated. The two main pigments in tomato paste mixture are the yellow-orange β-carotene and the red lycopene. The colors of these pigments are because

Abstract Pigments extracted from different greens have different polarities and may be different colors. Mixed pigments can be separated using chromatography paper. Chromatography paper is able to separate mixed pigments due to their polarity and solubility. Pigments of chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b and beta carotene will be separated on chromatography paper because each has its own polarity and solubility‚ which results in different distance traveled up the paper. Beta carotene is non-polar so it

Purpose 1. To prepare a dry-packed sample of product mixture of ferrocene and Acetylferrocene 2. To separate and purify the components in the product mixture by column chromatography. 3. To check the purity of the components by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). 4. To calculate the yield of acetylferrocene and the percent recovery of unreacted ferrocene.

of this lab was to separate plant pigments using chromatography‚ calculate Rf values using the collected data‚ and study photosynthesis with isolated chloroplasts. Light energy Light energy Background Information (Activity A): In photosynthesis‚ plant cells convert light energy into chemical energy that is stored in sugars and other organic compounds. It is an endergonic and anaerobic reaction. Critical to the process is chlorophyll‚ the primary photosynthetic pigment in chloroplasts. The chemical

EXPERIMENT 5: CHROMATOGRAPHY Abstract Paper Chromatography uses a chromatogram paper as its stationary phase and the solvent as the mobile phase. Retention factor is the ratio of the distance travelled by the sample to the distance travelled by the solvent. This experiment aims to separate organic compounds‚ to compute Rf values and to identify unknown compounds using Rf values. The ten samples underwent paper chromatography to determine the components of the unknown sample. The mobile phase allowed

Paper chromatography Presented by – Miss. Shruti Vilas Kharat. SYBSc / FS13164 History- Paper Chromatography (PC) was first introduced by German scientist Christian Friedrich Schonbein (1865). PC is considered to be the simplest and most widely used of the chromatographic techniques because of its applicability to isolation‚ identification and quantitative determination of organic and inorganic compounds. Definition- Paper chromatography is an analytical method technique for separating and
