I. Objectives
This experiment’s goal is to explore one-dimensional and two-dimensional paper chromatography.
II. Schematic Diagram of the Procedure
PAPER CHROMATOGRAPHY
Wash leaves, cut them into smaller pieces; in a mortar macerate them in circular motion

Add 8mL ethyl alcohol to extract pigments, continue macerating until finely grounded

Transfer extract to evaporating dish, allow to conc, don't let extract to dry out Concentration may de done by boiling off some solvent with hot plate or hair blower

Allow solvent to dry and dab another extract Dab extract onto chromatographic paper, along 4mm of starting line, using capillary tube

Draw two lines: (1) starting line 1.5cm above V point, (2) finish line 1cm below other end

Cut strip of chromatographic paper (1cmx10cm), cut one end into Vshaped edge

Repeat dabbing 58times to build up concentrated spot

Put 2mL chromatographic solvent into 6" test tube Bend paper clip, attach to cork stopper; attach paper strip, this should not touch the glass

Watch solvent rise up the paper, carrying and separating the pigments as it goes

Calculate Rf of each pigment Measure distances travelled by pigments and solvent Mark boundaries and center of colored streaks using pencil

When solvent reaches top, remove paper and let it dry

Using same chromatography paper, visualize other possible pigments in test tube chamber cont. iodine crystals

Note appearnce of brown pigments, remove from chamber, mark with pencil, calculate Rf

Label paper chrom and submit to instructor III. Table of Reagents/Products (MSDS-material safety data sheet)

    In order to experiment with distinct components of a mixture, they must be first separated so they can be observed individually. This is accomplished in this lab by the technique called thin layer chromatography (TLC). TLC involves a stationary phase, which the TLC plates as well as a mobile phase, which could be one of two solvents used: ethanol-acetone for TLC. Dyes in a sample separate consequently because of their unique polarities. As a result, nonpolar substances travel further than polar substances in this process. The separation of a mixture into its components by TLC transpires because the distinctive components of a mixture interact to different extents with the stationary and mobile phases.…

    Background Information: Paper Chromatography is a separation tool in which pigment is put on a paper made of cellulose and water, and placed in a solvent, in this case isopropyl alcohol. Due to capillary action, the solvent crawls up the paper, separating the pigments. This technique is used to identify components of a mixture, even unknown ones, and can be used to isolate components into pure samples. Real world uses of this technique includes identifying certain biomolecules by pigmenting certain regions of the sample, is used in forensic sciences t analyze DNA and RNA sequencing, and is used in organic chemistry to identify unknown compounds.…

    The Role Of Pigments 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.…

    Resolution of Matter into Pure Substances: Paper Chromatography

    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 gap so that the sides of the paper are not touching. The paper was then put into a beaker of a hydrochloric acid, ethanol, and butanol mixture, being sure that the paper does not touch the sides of the beaker, and then topped. After the eluting solution has risen to within two centimeters of the top of the filter paper, the paper was removed from the beaker, dried, and was stained with a staining reagent solution containing potassium ferrocyanide and potassium iodide. This reagent forms colored precipitates or reaction products with many cations, including all of those used in this experiment. The distance of which the spots moved were determined by calculating the Rf value of each substance. The Rf value is determined by following formula:…

    Candy Chromatography is the method of analysis of separating and comparing dyes used in candies and food coloring. It is also a proven method to analyze candy and its complex structure, 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 and “graphic” meaning to write. Paper chromatography is the best method of separation used in candy chromatography. Paper chromatography is a technique that involves placing a small dot or line of sample solution onto a strip of chromatography paper.. The paper is placed in a jar containing a shallow layer of solvent and sealed. As the solvent rises through the paper, it meets the sample mixture, which starts to travel up the paper with the solvent. This paper is made of cellulose, a polar substance, and the compounds within the mixture travel farther if they are non-polar. More polar substances bond with the cellulose paper more quickly, and therefore do not travel as far.…

    Separation of Chlorophyll a, Chlorophyll B, and Beta Carotene by Paper Chromatography

    Chromatography paper can be used to separate mixed chemicals, including mixed chloroplast pigments prepared from extract from fresh green grass or spinach. The mixture of pigments was prepared from organic greens, which were cleaned, cut into small pieces and bathed in acetone overnight (S. W. Jeffrey). The different pigments, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and beta carotene have different polarities, due to which the separation of these pigments is possible with chromatography paper.…

    Column Chromatography is a form of solid-liquid adsorption chromatography and depends on the essential principles as does in thin layer chromatography. It was used in this experiment in separating and analyzing the different components of Capsicum frutescens (siling labuyo) with the use of solvents such as Hexane (C6H14), Dichloromethane (CH2Cl2), Hexane/Dichloromethane (1:1), and Dichloromethane/Methanol (MeOH) (1:1). The components found in the experiment were carotenoids (carotenes and lutein), xanthophylls (capsanthin) and anthocyanins.…
