Plant Pigment Lab Question: What pigments are present in Red Wandering Jews? Background: A leaf is filled with many pigments. The pigments are usually masked by the prevalence of the green chlorophyll. Anothocyanin(red or purple)‚ carotene(orange)‚ and xanthrophyll(yellow) are found in different proportions in different leaves. Leaf pigments can be separated by using paper chromatography. Paper chromatography is a technique that extracts pigments into a paper filter called chromatogram. What are

As defined by the 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

These RF values were valuable information‚ however they did not determine which solution an IR spectrum would be obtained for. This was determined by the strongest‚ or more visible spot on the plate. An error for this lab could have occurred at this point because the wrong spot was chosen. If the RF values were used to determined which spot to choose‚ results may yield a smaller presence of pure naphthyl ether and a larger presence of dichloromethane in the IR spectrum. The spot that is most visible

Skating on Thin Ice Nick Young “Do you believe in miracles? YES!” – Al Michaels The long icy road to the gold medal for ice hockey during the 1980’s Olympic Hockey Competition was not one for the weak or feeble. A group of young college athletes from different‚ some rival‚ schools went through trial and tribulation and came together and take on seemingly unbeatable circumstances‚ much like a protagonist would in a classic grail quest. Throughout the journey‚ the team of young students

Enrico Miguel S. Dizon Date Performed: April 22‚ 2013 2012-58079 Experiment # 4 Paper Chromatography 1. Why is the chromatogram developed in an essentially closed system? - The chromatogram is developed in a closed system in order to prevent the solvent to evaporate. Most solvents used in the chromatograph are toxic and flammable. It is also put in a close system to reduce the chance of outside factors affect

Majed Al Dhwaihi Chem 151 Lab Prelab Assignment for week 3 Chemical Separation Procedure: Separating the sample: First place a small amount of the spinach provided in the mortar‚ just enough to cover its bottom; combined with the sand provided to break down the call walls. A 1:1 mixture of hexane and acetone was determined to best solvent for this extraction. Knowing this add one mL of the pure hexane and one mL of the pure acetone to the mortar. Grind the contents until the cell walls

BIOLOGY LAB REPORT NAME :princess cucumber TOPIC : 3.8 & 8.2 : PHOTOSYNTHETIC PIGMENTS RESEARCH QUESTION INTRODUCTION The photosynthetic pigments are responsible for absorbing and trapping light energy the major pigments of photosynthesis are the chlorophylls. The two chlorophylls found in green plants are chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b. other pigments include carotenoids and phycobilins‚ sometimes referred to as accessory pigments. Carotenoids occur in all photosynthetic organisms‚ while

Resolution of Matter into Pure Substances – Paper Chromatography Abstract The purpose of this laboratory was to determine how different substances have different solubilities in a given solvent. This was accomplished using the method of chromatography. The solubility of each substance was first determined by dropping a drop or two of each on a line drawn 2 inches above the bottom of a piece of paper. Then the paper was lightly bent in order to tape both sides of the paper leaving about a 4 centimeter

The purpose of the lab “All in the Family” was to compare the reactivity of the halogens Chlorine‚ Bromine‚ and iodine by observing the reactions between their elemental forms and their ionic forms. To accomplish this experiment‚ we first added a squirt of pet ether to two test tubes. Then‚ we added the same amount of Cl2 to both of the tubes‚ shook the mixtures‚ and recorded the color that resided in each mixture as the initial color. After‚ a squirt of NaBr was added to one test tube‚ and a squirt
