Discussion of the three solvent mixtures: For this lab, I chose the following three solvent mixtures: water and ethanol, water and acetone, and water and isopropanol. I chose these mixtures because they have different polarities, which would affect the movement of Show more…

The goal of paper chromatography is to separate the components of a mixture. Take another look at the developed chromatograms in the simulation you just completed and explain why using a solvent that strongly attracts all of the components of the mixture is not a good idea for a separation.

Post-Lab Questions 1. Which solvent provided the best separation? 2. Explain which characteristics of the solvent were used to effectively separate the analytes. 3. Some children have reactions to Yellow 5 or Yellow 6 dye. Yellow 5 is a pale-yellow color and Yellow 6 is more orange. Use the colors seen on the chromatograms to determine which M&Ms® candies you tested contain Yellow 5. 4. Chromatography has many applications. Research one application of chromatography and explain how it is used and what characteristic is utilized for the separation of the analyte(s).
You are an art teacher who needs to explain to your students what different types of materials are inside magic markers. Use the diagram below to color, label, and write a short paragraph to explain how the chromatography process of separation works. (You can draw and take a picture or you can do this one using this Desmos Link, BUT let me know if you choose Desmos to complete this one.)
