Paper Chromatography Chromatography comes from the Greek word khromatos (color) and graphein (to write); i.e. paper chromatography is literally color writing on paper. This method tests the purity of compounds and identifies substances. This analytical process‚ despite having been replaced by the success of thin layer chromatography‚ still stands as a valuable teaching tool‚ and is nevertheless very common. This method is very useful because not only is it a relatively quick process‚ but also

Candy chromatography is a method of analysis of separating and comparing of dyes used in candies and food coloring. It is also a proven method to analyze candy and its complex mixture‚ without having to taste it. These complex mixtures can be separated back into pure substances. To find out the ingredients of a favorite candy‚ chromatography would help to define every ingredient found in the candy sample. The word chromatography is derived from the two Greek words‚ "chroma" meaning color

Chromatography serves mainly as a tool for the examination and separation of mixtures of chemical substances. Chromatography is using a flow of solvent or gas to cause the components of a mixture to migrate differently from a narrow starting point in a specific medium‚ in the case of this experiment‚ filter paper. It is used for the purification and isolation of various substances. There are two phases in chromatography: 1. Stationary Phase – a solid that does not move. In this experiment was the

How Chromatography Helps The Human Race Chromatography is the separation of a mixture by passing it in solution or suspension or as a vapor (as in gas chromatography) through a medium in which the components move at different rates. “Chromatography is done by making of a mixture move past the solids‚ or across the surface of a solid‚ like paper. The mixture is poured onto a solid surface. As the different components of the liquid run down the solid‚ some of them move more slowly than other. A component

Chromatography Abstract Paper chromatography is one of the methods under chromatography‚ it can use in identifying unknown compounds using known compound and it can also use as a separation technique based on the differences in affinities of components of the mixture to a stationary phase and a mobile phase. In the experiment‚ the stationary phase was the filter paper onto which the dye samples were dropped onto while the mobile phase was the solvent mixture containing ethanol and water which

Plant Pigment Chromatography VII. Analysis (Questions) 1. What factors are involved in the separation of pigments? Factors that are involved in the separation of pigments can include pigment solubility‚ the attraction between the pigments and paper and the size of each pigment particle. Because of these factors the results were as they were. Beta-carotene traveled the furthest because it forms no hydrogen bonds to the chromatography paper and is slightly soluble in the solvent. Contrastingly

laboratory eight was to observe the affect of acid and alkaline cooking pH on pigments and textures of the vegetables(Yuan‚ 2014a) . Students were meant to gain experience on the different methods of processing fresh fruit and vegetables‚ both by observation and practise (Yuan‚ 2014a). The different methods were the effect of pH on pigment and texture of various vegetables‚ the effect that cooking procedures has on various pigments and flavours‚ the effect of sugar on texture and flavour of cooked fruit
