IDENTIFICATION OF UNKNOWN SOLUTIONS USING TLC CHROMATOGRAPHY Purpose: To become familiar with the principles and terminology of TLC chromatography to identify an unknown molecule based on comparisons with known laboratory standards and Rf factors. Background Thin Layer Chromatography: Chromatography is a sophisticated method of separating and identifying mixtures of two or more compounds. The separation is accomplished by the distribution of the mixture between two phases: one that

Separation of Amino Acids by Paper Chromatography Chromatography is a common technique for separating chemical substances. The prefix “chroma‚” which suggests “color‚” comes from the fact that some of the earliest applications of chromatography were to separate components of the green pigment‚ chlorophyll. You may have already used this method to separate the colored components in ink. In this experiment you will use chromatography to separate and identify amino acids‚ the building blocks of proteins

using simple distillation. The purity of the product will be characterized using percent yield‚ thin layer chromatography‚ Beer’s Law‚ and UV-vis. Beer’s law is used because in this experiment we are comparing our extraction of B-Carotene to the Stock B-Carotene. Beer’s law shows that absorbence of light at a specific wavelength is proportional to the concentration of the colored species in the solution. Thin layerChromatography is used to separate mixtures of substances into their component‚ thus allowing

Biological chemistry 1B Experiment 1: Thin layer chromatography [TLC] Aim The aim of this experiment is to apply the technique of TLC to first separate out a mixture of coloured dyes and then to do the same for selected range of amino acids. Procedure 2 MMs of each different colour were collected into separate beakers. Approximately 5 drops of water is added to each of the beakers containing the MMs and the tablets were stirred until

Chromatography Lab Questions Pre-Lab Questions 1. A pencil is used rather than a pen to mark the “starting line” in step two because a pen or marker while be used to place a small dot of ink in the center of the X that is made with a pencil. 2. Capillary action is filling of pores in a solid with a liquid. Capillary action is caused by spotting or absorption and is allowed to seep or flow through. 3. The type of pen that will probably give better separation in this paper chromatography

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this experiment is to analyze mixtures of compounds prior to‚ during and after a separation scheme. This experiment also allows monitoring reactions of organic molecules‚ and determines the identity of a mixture of compounds. STRUCTURES AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF REACTANTS [1] SOLVENTS | a.
