  1. Paper Chromatography: Definition, Procedure, & Applications

    Paper Chromatography Experiment. Performing a paper chromatography experiment involves several essential steps to ensure accurate results. The process begins with preparing samples for paper chromatography, then spotting the sample on the paper strip, and finally, developing the chromatogram. [1-4]

    Also, make sure that the chromatography paper doesn't touch the bottom of the cup. Tape the other end of chromatography paper to a pencil and place it on the cup. 5. Wait for about 15 minute. Then, take out the chromatography paper. 6. Using the same set up, repeat the experiment with different types of black ink pen/ marker. Procedure (drawn ...

    The procedure for paper chromatography is simple and straightforward. The following is a step-by-step guide on how to perform paper chromatography. Step 1 : Prepare the Stationary Phase. ... Paper chromatography is a common experiment in high school and college chemistry courses. It provides students with hands-on experience in separation ...

  5. Paper Chromatography Definition, Principles, Procedure And Theory

    Process. Paper chromatography works in few steps: Step 1: A horizontal line is drawn near one end (about 1.5 cm from the bottom edge) of the paper. In figure below 6 is the horizontal line. Step 2: The sample needs to be separated is placed as a small drop or line on to the paper using capillary tube.

  6. Paper Chromatography- Definition, Types, Principle, Steps, Uses

    Paper chromatography (PC) is a type of planar chromatography whereby chromatography procedures are run on a specialized paper. ... Thus, in order to obtain a measure of the extent of movement of a component in a paper chromatography experiment, "Rf value" is calculated for each separated component in the developed chromatogram. ...

    The chromatography paper should be dried and attached to your report. Procedure 1. Obtain a rectangular piece of chromatography paper. Use gloves to handle it. If gloves are not available, touch it only at the edges. (Oils from your hands can affect the separation.) 2. Make sure that the chromatography paper will fit into the beaker you plan to use

    Obtain a strip of chromatography paper about 2.5 cm wide by 10 cm tall. Along one of the shorter sides, draw a horizontal line in pencil about 1.5 cm from the edge of the strip. This will be your "base line", the starting line where the samples will be spotted. Graphite will not be carried up the chromatography paper.

    Experiment 11 - Paper Chromatography Discussion In addition to recrystallization and distillation, chromatography can also be used to separate the components of a homogeneous mixture. Initially, chromatography was used to separate ... Procedure CAUTION! 2% ninhydrin in ethanol will strongly stain the amino acids on your skin.

  11. What is Paper Chromatography? Principle and Procedure

    Principle, Procedure, Types, and Applications. Paper chromatography has proved to be very successful in the analysis of chemical compounds and lipid samples in particular. In paper chromatography, the sample mixture is applied to a piece of filter paper, the edge of the paper is immersed in a solvent, and the solvent moves up the paper by ...

  12. Paper Chromatography Experiment

    Instructions. Pour a small amount of water onto a plate or into the bottom of a jar. Find a way to suspend the filter paper over the water so that just the very bottom touches the water. If you do the experiment in a jar, the easiest way to do this is to wrap the top of the filter paper around a pencil, clip it in place, and suspend it over the ...

  13. Leaf Chromatography Experiment

    Perform Paper Chromatography on Leaves. The key steps are breaking open the cells in leaves and extracting the pigment molecule and then separating the pigment using the alcohol and paper. Finely chop 2-3 leaves or several small leaves. If available, use a blender to break open the plant cells.

    Procedures: 1.10 cm 3 of 2% ammonia solution is mixed with 20 cm 3 of propan-2-ol in clean, 500 cm 3 beaker, and covered tightly with a piece of aluminium foil. This is used as the solvent for the experiment. 2. On a clean sheet of chromatography paper with size about 12 cm by 22 cm, a light pencil line is marked to the bottom and about 1.5 cm ...

  16. How to Do Simple Chromatography: 10 Steps (with Pictures)

    1. Put water in a cup. When doing simple chromatography, your solvent (the liquid that carries the mobile phase across the stationary phase) will be water. Add a little water to a clear cup or glass. You only need enough for the chromatography strip to soak up, so just a few ounces is plenty. [3] 2.

  17. Practical chromatography

    Paper chromatography doesn't give very good separation in classroom experiments. You would need a long piece of paper and lengthy elution time to get good separation. However, there are several things you can do to make improvements. Changing the stationary phase by using thin layer chromatography (TLC) can lead to better separation.

  18. Leaf chromatography

    Procedure. Finely cut up some leaves and fill a mortar to about 2 cm depth. Add a pinch of sand and about six drops of propanone from the teat pipette. Grind the mixture with a pestle for at least three minutes. On a strip of chromatography paper, draw a pencil line 3 cm from the bottom.
