Encyclopædia Britannica Paper chromatography is used to separate "dissolved chemical substances". An example of dissolved chemical substances could be the pigments that make up a specific color‚ for example in a marker. When a chromatography paper experiment is done on a black marker‚ the experiment tends to separate all the different pigments that make up the color. In this experiment‚ the substance investigated was a black water soluble Giotto marker pen. Paper chromatography has two phases‚ the

Chromatography Analysis of Black Pens to Determine Unknown Sample Purpose: Paper chromatography was performed on five different black pens‚ using four different solutions to determine which would be most appropriate to use on an unknown sample. Paper chromatography was then performed on the unknown sample to identify which pen was used to create it. Procedure: Each person participating in the analysis was assigned one solution to work with: V. Temple used distilled water‚ D. Sellers used

Chromatography lab Purpose: To separate food colorings into their component dyes using paper chromatography. Materials: Chromatography paper‚ Food coloring‚ Ruler‚ Pencil‚ Solvent solution‚ Test tubes‚ Test tube rack. Safety precaution: wear aprons‚ to make sure that you don’t get any of the alcohol on your clothes‚ and if you break a test tube you don’t get glass on you. Procedure: See-attached handout. Results: See chromatography with Audrey’s lab report.

Plant Pigment Chromatography VII. Analysis (Questions) 1. What factors are involved in the separation of pigments? Factors that are involved in the separation of pigments can include pigment solubility‚ the attraction between the pigments and paper and the size of each pigment particle. Because of these factors the results were as they were. Beta-carotene traveled the furthest because it forms no hydrogen bonds to the chromatography paper and is slightly soluble in the solvent. Contrastingly

Problem How can you tell pigment separation by using Chromatography? Objective To prepare a chromatogram‚ separate pigments in a leaf and interpret the chromatogram. Hypothesis If I am to put a chromatography paper into a solvent‚ then it would separate the pigments depending on their Rf value. I think the pigments will separate in this order: Chlorophyll A‚ Chlorophyll B‚ Carotene‚ and Xanthophyll. Introduction Chlorophyll is the molecule that absorbs sunlight and uses its energy

In this Laboratory experiment‚ my lab partner Alexander and I were able to understand thoroughly the physical and chemical properties of salt (NaCl) and sand (SiO2). Followed by the right procedure we were able to design and test out the components of both NaCl and SiO2 in order to separate the unknown mixture that we were able to find out about. We were also given the task to provide the percent composition of the mixtures. Therefore‚ the separation of components among this experiment allowed us

Purification of Recombinant Green Fluorescent Protein (rGFP) From E. coli strain‚ BL21(DE3)‚ Using Ni2+-Agarose Affinity Chromatography Abstract: The purpose of these series of experiments was to express and purify recombinant Green Fluorescent Protein (rGFP) from the E. coli strain‚ BL21(DE3) by beginning with its purification via a Ni2+-agarose affinity chromatography column. The His6 tag of the rGFP bound to the Ni2+-agarose column and washes and elutions were obtained‚ with elution 3 containing

Community Outreach & Education Program CHROMATOGRAPHY (Adapted from: Forensic Science Activities. University of Colorado Boulder Hughes Initiative. .) DESCRIPTION: Students will use paper chromatography to separate ink molecules and identify the pen used on an unknown sample of handwriting. Students will graph and analyze data they collect using paper chromatography. PURPOSE/GOAL: Students will be able to: • Gain understanding of the purpose of chromatography. • Measure and graph pigment separation

Post Lab #4- Column Chromatography Organic Chem 3418-2 March 3‚ 2011 Theoretical Background- The fluorene and fluorenone mixture was separated by first dissolving the mixture in heptane. Since “like dissolves like”‚ fluorene dissolves with the non-polar heptane and the polar fluorenone dissolves in the polar ethyl acetate solvent. This phenomenon was illustrated in class before the experiment‚ when it was pointed out why water will not dissolve fluorene‚ fluorenone‚ or transstilbene

Gas Chromatography Analysis of Product Mixtures Gas Chromatography Guidelines‚ Handout. Introduction Gas chromatography is a technique used to analyze chemical compounds that can be vaporized and separated in a gas phase column. Once separated‚ the analyzed substance is passed through a detector and data is obtained. The samples that we are going to analyze are: the EtOAc from Simple distillation‚ the Fraction 1‚ Fraction 2‚ and Fraction 3 from the Fractional Distillation. Experimental Procedure
