Introduction:
Chromatography is another type of separation technique; which was invented by Mikhail Tswett... This process separates one compound usually into two or more components. For examples you can use this separation to separate colors out of an object. By using this technique you can observe the rate each color flows on the paper. If there is more than one color in the substance, each color can have a different flow. This shows how soluble the color is in the liquid solvent. The ink that runs across the paper is called the mobile phase since it is the one that moves further up the paper making it more soluble. While the ink that slowly progresses up or doesn’t move at all is the stationary phase because it travels slower than the other phase. Chromatography doesn’t just have

I've also noticed that they both have yellow within the M&M’s. However, the red M&M only has light red and yellow while the green M&M has blue and yellow; which are two prime colors that do make the color green. Therefore by using this method of separation we can detect that both M&M’s are mixtures. Within this experiment you can see that chromatography is a combination of two other separation techniques. The first technique is absorption. This process includes separating the color from its solution. It is similar in that way because both chromatography and absorption include the separation of colors. Although absorption takes the color away, chromatography has that process as well. For the reason that by using the solvent to separate the colors, also takes away the main color of the substance. The other one is filtration, because this type of separation method involves separating a solid from a liquid. This one is sort of similar because how the technique creates one solution into two different elements. In chromatography if the colorant is a mixture it creates to different color
In this experiment, column chromatography and thin layer chromatography were used to separate a mixture of fluorene and 9-fluorenone. These two methods were then compared, and the results were analyzed. In column chromatography, 0.1010 g of mixture was separated. During the separation, fluorene eluted first. This compound was white in color once dried with the rotary evaporator. A percent yield of 93.47% was calculated for fluorene. The product that eluted first was confirmed to be fluorene by the IR spectrum obtained and the experimental melting point. The IR spectrum RM-02-CC1 was the spectrum obtained for this compound. Aromatic carbon- hydrogen bonds, carbon-carbon double bonds and hydrogens attached to sp2 carbons were shown by peaks 3038
A spectrum is a group of light wavelengths that are ordered in relation to their wavelength length. The electromagnetic spectrum consists radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays. (1)Specifically, this lab looks at the visible light part of the spectrum because one of the colors in the visible light spectrum is shine through the sample. The visible light spectrum consists of colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. The color chosen to be shine through the sample is affected by the color of sample when mixed with the indicator Ammonium Vanadomolybdate (AMV). The color on the color wheel that is opposite of the solution’s color is the color that is shined through the
The objective of this experiment was to perform extraction. This is a separation and purification technique, based on different solubility of compounds in immiscible solvent mixtures. Extraction is conducted by shaking the solution with the solvent, until two layers are formed. One layer can then be separated from the other. If the separation does not happen in one try, multiple attempts may be needed.
The GCMS uses a combination of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry to measure and identify the ingredients present in the gas over the liquid, otherwise known as the “headspace.” In gas chromatography, the sample of gas is injected into a port where it is carried through a mobile phase. The mobile phase passes the sample through a long column that also contains a stationary phase. Gas chromatography, also called “elution chromatography” because the various components of the sample are eluted from the column sequentially, is composed of a stationary and mobile phase. The stationary phase is usually a viscous liquid with a high boiling point that coats the inside of the column and the mobile phase is generally a gas. In this experiment a 30 meter long capillary GC column was used and the mobile phase gas was Helium. The different parts of the sample are separated based on their affinities for the mobile and stationary phase. A sample that has a high affinity for the stationary phase and also has a high boiling point will spend more time in the stationary phase. The longer a component spends in the stationary phase, the longer it takes the component to be eluted. The temperature of the column can be used to optimize the separation of the sample.
The gas chromatography calculations offer the area values for under the peak curves. Those area values are directly correlated with the relative concentrations of each alkene product in the mixture. When the ratio of the two values is calculated, 3-methylcyclohexene being the 2nd peak area value and 1-methylcyclohexene being the 3rd peak area (represented on table 1), (11152:1283) = 8.7 1-methylcyclohexene molecules: 1 3-methylcyclohexene molecule.
Separations are important techniques in chemistry that are used to separate various components of a mixture. They are carried out by mixing two immiscible liquids containing certain solutes together in a separatory funnel, allowing them to separate, then extracting the distinct layers that form. The ratio of the concentration of solute present in the upper layer to the concentration in the lower layer is called the partition coefficient. The efficiency of a separation is described by this partition coefficient. If the coefficients for the two layers are largely different, then the separation can be carried out in a single step. If they aren’t, a more complex process is necessary.1,2 Countercurrent chromatography is a technique used carry out separations in these kinds of cases. It uses a continuous liquid-liquid partitioning process to streamline the usual extraction procedure.
In the second experiment with the green color, I can safely conclude that the color green in this case is very soluble and we would need longer filter paper, perhaps more time to safely separate the different colors that make up the color green.
Experiment #3: The purpose of this experiment to test the chromatography of plant pigments the alcohol test strip test will be used.
The distance of the initial extract line to a pigment band was divided by the distance of the marked solvent front to the initial extract line both were measured in cm. The RF (relative to front) was calculated for each pigment band, indicating the travelled distance between the pigment and the front (solvent line) on the chromatography
Chromatography is a method to distinguish between organic and inorganic compounds so that they can be analyzed and examined. By performing analysis of a compound, a scientist can figure out what makes up the compound. Chromatography related techniques have been used for centuries to separate materials such as colorants extracted from plants. However, Chromatography was first developed in 1900 by Russian scientist Michael Tswett. He continued
To undertake titration and colorimetry to determine the concentration of solutions By carrying out titrations and colorimetry, the aim of this investigations was to use these methods such that the concentrations of different solutions used can be identified, and to help find the concentration of the unknown solution that were given. Using Titration and colorimetry the concentrations of different solutions in general can be determined and this helps to identify solutions with unknown concentrations. In this assignment I was asked to carry out two different scientific techniques and find the concentration of different solutions.

Analyzing soil compounds can be measured by the levels of organic molecules including n-alkanes, fatty alcohols and fatty acids, which are all found in the waxy outer layer of plant matter (Geddes, 2008). It basically states that compounds can remain in the soil for thousands of years, which explains that each area being tested has its unique organic profile.
Technically, all they’re doing is taking the dyes of the 2 green M&M’s/Skittles, then in a ⅛ tsp of salt and 3 cups of water, mixed together, in a jar/glass, you put the filter paper on with a binder clip that has the skewer/straw going through it (on the filter paper, there are dots drawn on with a pencil, at the 2 and 4 cm mark, then drawn over with a toothpick dipped in the dye that came off the candy). After you follow all these steps, you start to see the different color dyes that have been mixed together, separate from each other.This helps us answer the problem statement, because after all of this, you will have separated it successfully, and then you can see what the candy is now. They discovered that what they wrote in the hypothesis, came true.
HPLC technology works on the principle of conventional chromatography where in there is a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The sample containing the mixture of components is introduced in a column packed
To identify inks of similar color from one another from mere observation is near impossible since colors can look identical to the human eye while differing in composition. Therefor, further examination of the components of the ink is needed. Ink is a mixture of substances and these substances have varying molecular polarities. The intrinsic properties of the components of the ink allows for the separation of ink through adsorption chromatography, where the ink is separated based on the attraction to a moving phase (liquid) and stationary phase (TLC plate). Using the Rf equation, the Rf value can be determine to numerically determine the similarity in the inks
