Experiment to observe how chromatography can be used to separate mixtures
Answers
You can perform this experiment using a water soluble ink
Cut a strip of chromatography paper or filter paper in a rectangular shape
Put a drop of ink near the end of the paper, but not so close to the edge
Pour some water in a beaker
Support the chromatography paper vertically in the beaker of water such that the end with the ink in dipping into the water but not the ink
Leave the set-up undisturbed for some time
You will observe the water moving upwards and splitting the ink, separating it into its components.
