Chromatography

Chromatography is a highly effective separation technique that can separate the components of a mixture based on their physical and chemical properties. To carry out a simple chromatography experiment, you will need chromatography paper, a pencil, ruler, mixture to be separated, solvent, glass jar or beaker, and paper clip or tape. The procedure involves drawing a line, applying a small spot of the mixture, placing the paper in a glass jar, waiting for the solvent to separate the components of the mixture, removing the paper and letting it dry, and visualizing the separated components. By carefully selecting the solvent and the chromatography paper, you can achieve a successful experiment and separate and identify the individual components of a mixture.
