Chromatography lab
What we used: filter paper, markers, water, paper, tray
What will happen to the drawing on the filter paper if we set the filter paper on top of a tray of water with filter?
If we make a drawing on a piece of filter paper with markers and set it on top of a tray of water with filters then the Inc will smutch.
To begin with we drew with markers on the filter paper. Then we poked holes in the filter paper and twisted some paper and set it in the hole or holes. (this served, kinda like a wick in a candle, as a filter) after that we set the drawing in the tray of water and waited for the process to occur.
Before
After
Wow! All the Inc spread all over the filter paper.
So in this lab the Inc spread all over the filter paper because it was sperating the molecules in the Inc to make a specific color.
We have now experincesd the seperation technique of Chromatography.
Chromatography is the separation of molecules through passing liquids.
