Title: Miodures and separation - chromatography

Aim: To determine the components present in a sample of marker.

Materials:

1. Beaker

2. Filter paper

3. Green marker

4. Water

5. Dropper

6. Glass rod

7. Sticky tape or stapler

Method:

1. A piece of filter paper was cut into a rectangle.

2. A line (called the origin) was drawn at the bottom of the paper, about 2 cm from the base of
the paper strip.

3. A dot of the green marker line was placed at the centre of the origin and was left to dry.

4. The paper was attached to the glass rod using the sticky tape.

5. A beaker was filled with enough water to immerse the edge of the filter paper without
touching the spot of ink

6.The paer was tipped into water ensuring that the ink water does not touch the water.

7. and apparatus use her paper chromatography was set up.


Results:

Rf =
DistanceTraveled by spot

Rf (1) (Green dye link) =

Rp (2) (Blue dye link) =


Discussion:

Chromatography is an analytical technique used to dissect chemical mixtures into their


constituent parts. Paper chromatography is a separation method where a solution of various ink
components (marker) is allowed to flow through a strip of paper, which serves as the station
oing phase. When the paper's end is submerged in water, the ink components split and the
lightest component rises to the top of the strip as the water moves up the paper.

The two (2) components of the green, green, and blue marker are yellow and blue dye. The blue
dye was more soluble in water than the green and yellow dye because it went more quickly and
farther. The ratio of the solute's travel distance is known as the Pip (retardation factor) value.
Chromatography is where the wad originated when it was initially found.

Reflection:
This experiment was very fun, interesting and educative.
