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

Separation of Amino Acids by Cation Exchange Chromatography Introduction and Purpose: Amino acids are small biomolecules that have a carboxylic acid backbone in common‚ as well as an amino group attached to a saturated carbon. There are many amino acids‚ but there are 20 most commonly know amino acids. Amino acids are the fundamenta building blocks of other biomolecules like proteins and ezymes (Davidson‚ 2015). This experiment examined a mixture of 3 amino acids. The purpose of this experiment

Separations: Chromatography of M&M and Ink Dyes Almost all substances we come into contact with on a daily basis are impure; that is‚ they are mixtures. Similarly‚ compounds synthesized in the chemical laboratory are rarely produced pure. As a result‚ a major focus of research in chemistry is designing methods of separating and identifying components of mixtures. Many separation methods rely on physical differences between the components of a mixture. For example‚ filtration takes advantage of substances

understand that because substances have different properties‚ such as mass‚ that can be separated by chromatography. In our experiment‚ we chose 4 different color source to separate in water. We made sure that all the sources were water soluble because only polar substances will dissolve in water. We chose a black wet-erase marker‚ a red marker‚ a green marker‚ and mixed food coloring to test. The chromatography paper was split into 4 sections‚ about 2 cm above the bottom edge and evenly spaced out. Each

Background Information: When working in a lab‚ scientists often need to identify different molecules that are present in a sample they are studying. There are many ways to identify unknown molecules/chemicals in a sample. The method you will be using today is called Paper Chromatography and consists of 2 steps. First‚ you will separate the unknown chemicals and then you will identify

Usually an aqueous and organic phase are used. During extraction the desired compound moves one phase and leaves the unwanted substance behind. Extraction normally has to be done a few times to leave all of the impurities
