i hv a query:
what solvents can u use in chromatography and does the solvent u use depend on what u r extracting?

eg. in this question from O/N 2009 chem p6

7) Leaves from trees contain a mixture of coloured pigments which are not soluble in water. A
student was given these two instructions to investigate the pigments in the leaves.
1. Crush some leaves to extract the coloured pigments.
2. Use the liquid extract to find the number of coloured pigments in the leaves.
(a) What would the student need in order to effectively carry out instruction 1?

the ms says pestle/mortar/solvent/sand (any three)
ignore water and/or heat

why  ??? ???

Thanks

yes the solvent always deends on what u are extracing.. and in this case its not water ! cz it tells you in the question that its isnoluble in water..so what you say is..use suitable solvent which dissolves the pigments..and explaint hte chromatofrphy process..



it says ignore water and heat cz its insoluble in water..altho i think heating with the SUITABLE SOLVENT should work..but anyway if u write that you dont get marked down i guess..so pestle adn morart is enough for crushing.

i hhave no idea what teh sand is for ? probably like filtering water...you put pigments in solvent and put it in sand and the insoluble stuff wont penetrate?

for b when ammonium chloride is warmed, it gives out ammonia and HCl

NH4Cl----> NH3 + HCl

do you get it now...?

NH3 turns red litmus blue(basic)
HCl turns blue litmus red (acidic)

1 dot at the origin + n dots (where n is the no of different substances in the chemical mixture)

but they didnt tel in this ppr
????
here is the ques:
A sample of orange fruit jam was investigated to check the three colourings present.
Step 1 The jam was boiled with water.
Step 2 The mixture was filtered.
Step 3 The filtrate was concentrated.
Step 4 The concentrate was analysed by chromatography.
(a) What was the purpose of Step 1?
[1]
(b) Why was the mixture filtered?
[1]
(c) How was Step 3 carried out?
[1]
(d) Draw a diagram to show the possible paper chromatogram obtained in Step 4.
jus answer part d dat hw did u noe dat 3 dots r presnt
THANX

@nid404
but see how do u know 3 dots..specifically...because in tht paper..its just said tht its a jam...and we r doing chromatagrophy of its mixture..after these steps:
2 A sample of orange fruit jam was investigated to check the three colourings present.
Step 1 The jam was boiled with water.
Step 2 The mixture was filtered.
Step 3 The filtrate was concentrated.
Step 4 The concentrate was analysed by chromatography.
then after Q1 a,b,c,......
..its d they ask: Draw a diagram to show the possible paper chromatogram obtained in Step 4.

so can u tell us if they just meant to make it maximum 3 (like not less than 3)...or its only ryt for specifically three dots
....and is the line dot or spot counted as 1??
Thanks....do reply
