Introduction Paper chromatography is a method using a chromatography paper to identify the many mixtures of one simple color. The word chromatography comes from the Greek words‚ "chroma‚" meaning color‚ and "grafein‚" meaning to write. The process of this experiment is to place a colored dot‚ such as marker ink‚ onto the chromatography paper‚ one centimeter away from the triangular tip. Next dip your chromatography paper into the solvent‚ not allowing it to touch the colored dot. Let it sit for

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

Objectives: To use the process of chromatography to separate plant pigments. To compare the plant pigments found in spinach and red leaf lettuce leaves. Hypotheses: I believe the spinach leaf in the acetone will have a higher pigment of chlorophyll a and the red leaf lettuce will have a higher pigment of anthocyanin. I believe the spinach leaf in distilled water will have a higher pigment of chlorophyll a and the red leaf lettuce will have a higher pigment of anthocyanin. Discussion Questions:

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

Chromatography: How can we separate a mixture? Purpose The chromatography lab is to understand how molecules with similar molecular properties can be separated with paper chromatography. These differences will be interpreted to see the distinction of separate chemical substances. Pre Lab Questions 1. Explain capillary action as it pertains to water and paper. Capillary action makes water draw up the paper. As paper absorbs water mixes with the solutions in the paper. 2. What is the

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

Column and Thin Layer Chromatography Beverly Abstract: Plant pigments were separated and concentrated from a crude spinach extract through the use of column chromatography and an eluatropic series of hexanes‚ hexane/acetone‚ and methanol. The pigments were analyzed using thin layer chromatography with a 30% ethyl acetate/hexane developing solvent. Introduction: Chromatography is a technique used to separate a mixture of two or more components based on

The purpose of column chromatography is to separate one compound from another by the differing polarities in the compound. This technique is important in organic chemistry because certain experiments may require the separation of compounds in solution to be used for chemical synthesis and/or analysis of a particular desired product by isolating it. Fluorene is to be separated from 9-fluorenone using the technique of column chromatography. The success of separation and purity is determined with analyzation
