Introduction What is chromatography? Explain the technique TLC What is a mobile phase and what are the characteristics of the mobile phase in this experiment? What is a stationary phase and that the stationary phase is the polar (due to OH groups) of silica gel plate? Why and how can TLC be used to identify unknowns in a mixture.

Step 1
It is based on the principle that different components of a mixture have different affinities for a stationary phase and a mobile phase. Step 2: Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) is a type of chromatography that uses a thin layer of adsorbent material, such as Show more…

Chromatography What is chromatography, and how does it work?
Discuss the theory behind column chromatography. what is silica gel and how does it help separate compound? discuss the results of the column you ran. discuss the results of your TLC analysis. Make sure that you touch on why each pigment travels along the TLC plate different distances as it relates to the polarity of the solvents. For the TLC analysis, which solvent system gave the best separation of spots and why?
