identify the components of a mixture of soluble coloured substances
CAIE IGCSE Chemistry Separating Soluble Coloured Mixtures
Practise describing paper chromatography with a pencil baseline, suitable solvent and solvent front to separate soluble coloured mixture components.
How this is tested
- draw the baseline in pencil and place the mixture as a small spot on the line
- stand the paper in a suitable solvent with the baseline and sample above the solvent level
- allow the solvent to rise, mark its front and use separated spots to identify components
