A

spectrometer

22
Q

It is a chromatography technique in which separation is carried out in column

A

Column Chromatography

23
Q

The column is filled with the stationary phase which can either be?

A

silica
alumina
cellulose

24
Q

The bottom of the column is packed with ______________ to support the stationary phase

A

cotton or glass wool

25
Q

The column preparation is usually carried out by two methods:
