Rica Paulene‚ Moises‚ Patrisha Kate‚ Policarpio‚ Jairus Paolo‚ Rolda‚ Zylene Joy Department of Biology‚ College of Science‚ University of the Philippines Baguio April 23‚ 2013 ABSTRACT The objective of this experiment was to apply the technique of paper chromatography as a method for separating individual plant pigments contained in plant tissue extracts containing pigment blends. The process of chromatography separates molecules because of the

unknown substance or determine a known substance’s level of purity. When organic substances are mixed together in varying degrees they take on a melting characteristic that is lower and broader than in its pure form. This property was manipulated in the lab to observe the various melting points of Naphthalene and Biphenyl when the percentage of composition was altered. A eutectic point of 45 °C at 52% Naphthalene was determined from the class data. An unknown crystalline substance was identified to be

Chromatography of Photosynthetic Pigments Abstract In this experiment a process of chromatography was used to separate chlorophyll a‚ chlorophyll b‚ xanthophyll‚ and beta carotene. When these pigments were obtained they were used to measure the wavelengths by way of spectrophotometer of each and the total of all the pigments wavelength. Introduction Photosynthesis is a process by which plants use the sunlight to convert it from light energy into chemical energy. This equation shows us how

INK & PAPER COMMUNICATION People say that the art of letter writing is dead. But my idea of heaven is writing a letter to a dear friend in a far away town‚ a note to my cousin saying “ thankyou ” for the dinner we had this weekend‚ a fan letter to the writer whose story I read and admired. I love to write something‚ be it a short story‚ a poem‚ a serious article or just letters. It is so magical to gather the right words and put them together on the paper… I write a couple of letters a day

Chromatography: Separating Mixtures Introduction: Magic marker inks are often mixtures of several compounds. Paper chromatography is a common method of separating various components of a mixture. After separation‚ you can observe the different colors that make up a particular color of magic marker ink. You can also calculate a ratio Rf‚ which compares how far each compound traveled to how far each solvent (substance that dissolves another substance) traveled during the experiment.

contrasting two different texts. The selected text types certainly depict the element‚ firstly through the film ‘Strictly Ballroom’ directed by Baz Luhrmann‚ which explores the tension between uniqueness and conformity. And secondly the novel ‘The Ink Bridge’ by Neil grant‚ which explores the alienation and ignorance about a whole new culture. In the film ‘strictly ballroom’ Lurhmann was able to show the personal‚ cultural and social contexts. We as the audience saw these ideas through the use of

Is Higher Education Worth the Price? The question of whether or not higher education is actually “worth it” is an entirely subjective on. To objectively determine if higher education will give a high return on investment‚ one needs to first understand what they are hoping to gain out of the entire experience. Higher education does worth the price because it helps students to build their self-fulfillment‚ provide more monetary opportunities and reach their final goal . In the United States‚ for

Background of the Study Grape is a fruiting berry of the deciduous woody vines of the botanical genus Vitis. Grapes can be eaten raw or they can be used for making wine‚ jam‚ juice‚ jelly‚ grape seed extract‚ raisins‚ vinegar‚ and grape seed oil. Grapes are a non-climacteric type of fruit‚ generally occurring in clusters. The

Chromatography • • • Separation based on polarity of compounds Two potential phases for a compound to exist in: mobile and stationary Partitioning of compounds between mobile phase and stationary phase occurs: o Compounds that are less polar move more in the mobile phase‚ those that are more polar “stick” more on the stationary phase o These polarity differences cause compounds move at different rates and therefore can be separated 1. Mobile Phase: the phase the moves; can be gas or

Thermochromism Thermochromism refers to the phenomenon of color changes by the agency of heat. Obviously‚ the color changes are made possible by the temperature-induced chemical or physical changes of materials incorporated into the inks. Sometimes‚ the color change occurring at a temperature is permanent‚ and at other times the original color can be regained on cooling. Accordingly‚ we have an irreversible or reversible thermochromic system. The required chemistry can be adopted based
