separated by a procedure called chromatography. The procedure uses a special paper and solvent. The chlorophyll molecules adhere to the paper. The solvent molecules move up the paper by capillary action. Each chlorophyll molecule will travel up the paper at different rates. Hypothesis: If chlorophyll is removed from the plant‚ then the different pigments in the plant can be visible. Materials: -Spinach -Coin -Chromatography paper -Ruler

The Chromatography of Food Dyes and determination Of the Dyes Present in M&M Candies Procedure To complete this lab‚ I first mixed the solvent solution consisting of the proper ratio of water‚ salt‚ and isopropyl alcohol in a Pyrex measuring cup. I then prepared my chromatography papers for 2 trials by drawing‚ with a pencil‚ the appropriate lines and labels. Using a toothpick‚ I added the color to the paper‚ and then repeated until the color was strong. I repeated this step several more

Purpose: Unknown mixtures will be separated by means of chromatography in which the mixture will be passed in a solution through a medium leaving behind components of the mixture at different rates‚ therefore‚ different spots on the absorbing substance. This will help determine the identity of unknown mixtures. The spot colors on the strip of filter paper and the Rf values of the unknown samples will be compared to those of known samples. To find the position of the spots on the strip of paper‚ we

experiment was to determine if green light had less ability to absorb than red light in spinach leaves. This was done by separating the photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b‚ carotene and xanthophylls) from one another using paper chromatography. The separated pigments were then analyzed for their absorption spectrum using a spectrographometer. When the data was graphed it clearly showed the higher rate of red light absorption over green light. These results along with previous research

Forensic Chemistry and Forensic Chemist Forensic chemistry is becoming an increasingly popular topic. It is being used quite often in the real world with police investigations‚ cases‚ and is also being magnified in television shows including Forensic Files‚ CSI‚ and Bones (What is Forensic Chemistry?). Forensic chemistry is important because without it we wouldn’t know the outcome of a crime. The forensic chemist’s job is to examine evidence given to them from a crime scene‚ when it happened‚ and

Candy Chromatography Background info: Paper chromatography is a logical technique used to separate works of a solution. Three examples of how we apply this technique to real-life would be: contaneminants in water‚ separation of plant pigmentation‚ and analysis of narcotics.

Title: Competing Nucleophiles (Exp 24‚ pp 211-221‚ pp 808-823‚ pp 836-842) Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the nucleophilic strength of chloride and bromide ions as it reacts with 1-butanol (n-butyl) and 2-methyl-2-propanol (t-butyl alcohol) under SN1 and SN2 conditions. Method: 40 g of ice and approximately 30 ml of sulfuric acid is cautiously added to a 100 mL beaker respectively. Weigh 7.6 g of ammonium chloride and 14.0 g of ammonium bromide and place it in

experiment was for each student to use column chromatography to separate plant pigments from spinach leaves. Some goals and objectives were to observe the effect of the increasing polar eluent fractions‚ to analyze the different fractions collected‚ and to correlate the structure of the components with polarity and behavior on a chromatographic column. Background The best method for separating mixtures in organic chemistry is chromatography. Chromatography is the separated of a mixture of two or more

The Activity of Photosynthetic Pigments Silica gel chromatography can be used to determine what light wavelengths are used for photosynthesis. In this experiment‚ chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b‚ carotene‚ and xanthophyll were tested. The distance moved by molecule and the distance moved by the solvent is used
