What is paper chromatography
a technique used for the separation of compounds based on the differential solubility in the stationary phase and mobile phase (solvent).
How to create a paper chromatography investigation
Draw a pencil line on a piece of chromatography paper then place the solution on the line. Use a pencil to label, then pour solvent into a beaker place paper into beaker paper should be dipped but pencil line above. Then wait until solvent nearly reaches top of paper. Draw a line there.
Why do you use a pencil in paper chromatohraphy
Ink may travel with the solvent up the paper
How to obtain a dry sample from a chromatography paper
Cut that bit off and evaporate the sample
