Question

Observation for experiment separating dyes in black ink using chromatography

Answer 1

Answer:

Ink is a mixture of several dyes and therefore we can separate those colors from one another using chromatography. When ink is exposed to certain solvents the colors dissolve and can be seperated out. When we expose a piece of paper with ink on it to a solvent, the ink spreads across the paper when the ink dissolves.

You can remove ink through Chrromatography by following the steps :-

1.    Take a thin strip of filter paper.
2. Draw a line on it using a pencil approx. ...
3. Put a small drop of ink with help of a pen at centre of line and let it dry.
4. Lower the filter paper into a glass jar containing water in such a way that the ink's drop remains just above the water level. ...
5. Water rises up in the filter paper.
