Title of Experiment Extraction of Spinach Date that the Experiment was Performed This experiment was performed on Wednesday‚ September 17th‚ 2014 at 2:45 pm in the St Ignatius Science Center Laboratory 323. Partners Names Taylor Jackson and Matt D’Angelo. Taylor‚ Matt‚ and I shared the same data. Purpose/Goals/Objectives The purpose of this experiment was for each student to use column chromatography to separate plant pigments from spinach leaves. Some goals and objectives were to

purpose of this experiment was to take spinach leaves and extract the chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments by using acetone as the solvent. The chlorophyll and carotenoid pigments were extracted by using column chromography and alumina was used as the solvent. Solvents of different polarities were used‚ starting with the least polar‚ to extract the certain components from the leaves. They were then analyzed by using thin- layer chromatography. Procedure: The first part of the experiment dealt with

The reason for the experiment is to see which color from the light spectrum causes plants to grow faster. The prediction was that read light would cause the most growth in plants and that blue light would result in slower growth. The results did not support the hypothesis. Referring to table‚ one can see that blue caused both the spinach and radish plant to grow the most and that green light cause the plants to grow less. Spinach is a long-day plant therefore it was able to grow better under a constant

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 the stationary phase. After

Column and Thin Layer Chromatography: The Separation of Spinach Pigment Abstract Spinach extract was separated into fractions containing compounds of similar polarity by column chromatography. Based on solid-liquid phase partitioning‚ this separation technique exploited the different polarity of the compounds in the spinach extract. Three fractions with different colors were obtained. The extract and its fractions were analyzed using thin layer chromatography (TLC). The TLC results showed that

To identify an unknown‚ to monitor the course of a reaction and assess the purity of its product‚ to determine the best solvent for a column chromatography separation‚ to determine the somposition of each fraction from a column chromatography separation‚ and to determine whether

By using 2.0 mL of dimethoxyethane and 18 mL of absolute ethanol as the developing solution‚ and then spotting each sample of amino acids and an unknown on the silica gel chromatography plate‚ we began the process of TLC plating. The ninhydrin solution was sprayed on the chromatography plate and allowed to dry. After allowing the
