Paper Chromatography
  1. What is paper chromatography?
    1. is a technique of using a solvent to separate a mixture into its components for identification purposes and determining of purity.
      1. very useful method to separate and identify components in a sample like dyes in inks, poison in drugs etc.
    2. Process: 1.a pencil line is drawn across the chromatography paper to indicate the starting position of mixture spots.
      1. 2. important to use a pencil because inks will sumuge
        1. 3. Paper dipped into a solvent
          1. mixture dissolve in the solvent and moves up the paper

              1. agents react with the substances to produce a coloured substance
            2. applications of chromatography

              2. Advantages of chromatography
                1. allow analysis if a tiny amount of chemicals
                  1. sensitive and highly reproducible
                    1. allow analysis of many samples in a time.
                2. How do we interpret the result of chromatography?
                  1. If the chromatogram shows food colouring is a mixture of 2 dyes, It is not pure.
                    1. But is there is only one spot, it means it is pure,
