Procedure
.the first step of the method is to cut the coffee filter into a rectangle measuring three cm by nine cm, then repeat creating two strips. by using a pencil, i drew a line one cm (1/2 inch) from the edge of one end of one strip of paper dot the strip 4 times with a pencil and each dot with a diffrent color alo g the 0.5cm line, 1/4 inches apart. by using the marker, u will then mark each dot with a diffrent colored marker on the paper strips. wait for a moment and let it dry, then i went and go back to apply more colors on the dots. before doing the experiment i made preditions, educated guesses on the pigment componets i expect to seefrom each marker's ink. mix a 1/8 tablespoon salt solution and three cups of water in a 2- liter bottle. hake the solution, producing a 1% salt solution.
Pour the salt solution into a clean tall glass so that the liquid level is 1/4 inch (0.5 cm).
Tape the strip to a pencil and rest the pencil on top of the jar colored spots are not suppose to come in direct contact with the liquid in the bottom of the glass
When the salt water is 1/4 inch (0.5 cm) from the top edge of the paper, remove it from the

    The second lab deals with the chromatography of food dyes which means you figure out what kind of compounds are used in a product like food color etc. by comparing the result to FD&C Food Dyes. You use six different food dyes, four food colors out of the store, two different Kool Aid powder and four different colors of candy like M&Ms you use for the chromatograph. At the end you try to find which food dyes are in the other products.…

    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.…

    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. A chromatographically pure substance is the result of the separation. Because purification of substances is required to determine their properties, chromatography is an indispensable tool in the sciences concerned with chemical substances and their reactions.…

    Separations: Chromatography of M&M and Ink Dyes Almost all substances we come into contact with on a daily basis are impure; that is, they are mixtures. Similarly, compounds synthesized in the chemical laboratory are rarely produced pure. As a result, a major focus of research in chemistry is designing methods of separating and identifying components of mixtures. Many separation methods rely on physical differences between the components of a mixture. For example, filtration takes advantage of substances being present in different states (solid vs. liquid); centrifugation relies on differences in density; and distillation makes use of differences in boiling points of the various components. Chromatography exploits differences in solubility and adsorption. The word chromatography, which is derived from two Greek words literally meaning "color writing", was coined at the beginning of this century when the method was first used to separate colored components of plant leaves. Today, the name is a bit misleading, because most forms of chromatography do not depend on color. Several types of chromatography are commonly used, among which are paper chromatography, thin-layer chromatography or TLC, liquid-liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, and high performance liquid chromatography or HPLC. Chromatography is so useful that some form can be found in most scientific laboratories around the world. For example, in forensic chemistry crime laboratories, the FBI maintains a library of chromatograms of inks that are used commercially. In the first case in which chromatography of inks were used, a man in Miami falsified travel and expense vouchers. However, the ink pen he used had ink that wasn't available commercially until 3 years after the trips had taken place. The theory behind chromatography is to allow a mixture of different chemicals to be distributed or partitioned between a stationary phase and a mobile phase (eluent or solvent). The mobile phase may be a liquid or…

    Chromatograph method is a method of separating mixtures of two or more compounds. Two phases are important in this method; one that is stationary and one that is moving. Chromatography works on the principle that different compounds will have different solubilities and adsorption to the two different phases between which are to be partitioned. Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) is a solid-liquid technique. The mixture is observed when it is in two different phase; a solid (stationary phase) and a liquid (moving phase). Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) is a technique which is sensitive, cheap and fast. A thin layer chromatograph plate is used to identify drug component under UV. It is used to support the identity of a compound in a mixture when the Rf of a compound is compared with the Rf of a known compound.…
