Title Page Chelsea Maksin Organic Chemistry Laboratory 1 Column and Thin Layer Chromatography: The Separation of Spinach Pigments Russ Hoburg 02/15/2012 Abstract The main goal in doing the column and thin layer chromatography was to separate spinach extract into its components based on polarity and then to analyze the components. The separation of the spinach extract was done using the column chromatography with the wet/slurry packing method. Alumina was inserted into the column to act as

Proteins (ACTIVITY 8) Gallemit‚ Lacei Machelle• • January 17‚ 2013 ABSTRACT Chromatography is one of the most useful methods of separating minute amounts of complex mixtures into the pure substances contained therein. Chromatographic separations are effected by allowing the components in the mixture to be distributed in two phases‚ one being stationary‚ and the other‚ mobile. Partition chromatography involves two main distribution systems‚ one system is composed of a gas and a liquid and

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 the chromatograph. 2. What is the main advantage of 2-dimensional paper chromatography over a 1-dimensional one? - The

Identification of Plant Pigments by Paper Chromatography Biology 1107L Introduction All living organisms require energy for their chemical processes. The ultimate source of this energy is the sun. Plants convert light energy into the chemical energy of sugars. During photosynthesis pigments are used to capture light energy. Pigments of green plants can easily be separated and identified using a technique called paper chromatography. The purpose of this experiment is to separate

Ferrocene and Acetylferrocene will be separated using column chromatography. Column chromatography is a separation technique that is used among many disciplines including biology‚ biochemistry‚ microbiology and medicine. Many common antibiotics are purified by column chromatography.1 Column chromatography allows us to separate and collect individual compounds. In this experiment‚ lumen will be the stationary phase‚ and the more polar substance will be retained on the stationary phase longer

We will first gather data on known dyes where we know how many substances make up the dye. Then we will collect data on some samples where we do not know the make-up. We will compare our
