Introduction • Chromatography – Separating Mixtures • Includes a mobile/stationary phase • Preparative or Analytical • Preparative: Separate to use components • Analytical: Measure relative proportion of a substance • 5 different types of Chromatography: • Adsorption • Partition • Ion Exchange • Molecular Exclusion • Affinity Ex: Chromatography in Action
Adsorption Chromatography • When a mobile gas or liquid collects onto a stationary solid • Forms a thin layer of molecules • Solvent travels up adsorbent to meet sample • Continues upwards as a solvent/solute solution (adsorbate) • Different compounds in sample • Different solubilities • Travels different distances • Analyze • Identify • Purify • Quantify Separate Mixture Components
The other types … • Partition Chromatography • Separation of similar substances by repeated extraction by two immiscible liquids. • Ion Exchange • Separation of ions and polar molecules • Molecular Exclusion • Particles are separated based on size. • Usually applied to large molecules such as proteins and industrial polymers • Affinity • Method of separating biochemical mixtures • We focus on Adsorption in our project.
Paper Chromatography • Stationary Phase • Chromatography Paper • Mobile Phase • Unreactive solvent • Primarily used to separate and identify coloured mixtures • Two-way paper chromatography • Complicated substances • Amino Acids • Solvent’s ability to move upwards via capillary action
Experiment • Explain adsorption • What it is • How it is used to separate mixtures • Demonstrate adsorption through paper chromatography • Calculate retention factors of the substances
Safety Concerns • Safety Goggles • Rubbing Alcohol • Spillage/Leakage • Consumption • Ventilation of Area • Permanent Markers • Condition • Wastage
Materials • Glass Jars • Chromatography Paper • Pencils • Rubbing alcohol (70% Isopropyl Alcohol) • Sharpie Pens of various colours • Measuring cup • Ruler • Scissors • Tape • Safety Goggles
Procedure • Use the scissors and ruler to cut equally long strips of Chromatography Paper. With a pencil, draw a horizontal line 1 cm above the bottom edge of each strip. • Using each Sharpie pen, place a spot along the line of the Chromatography Paper. • Tape each strip onto a different pencil, and place the pencil onto the jar. Make sure that the strip of Chromatography Paper is touching the Isopropyl Alcohol inside. • Measure approximately 15 mL of Isopropyl Alcohol and pour it in each jar. • Let the strips develop until the ascending solution is approximately 2 cm from the top of the paper. Then remove the strips and let them air dry. • Record your observations and determine the retention factor.

Applications • Anything involving separating a solution • Medicine • Sports Medicine – Testing for drug usage (Gas chromatography) • Pharmaceutical industries – Check if the right reactants were used. • Criminology & Forensic Science • DNA sequencing (Capillary electrophoresis) • Analyzing evidence (Thin-layer chromatography) • Petrochemical Industries • Checking the purity of fuel (Gas chromatography)
Sources of Experimental Error • Chromatography Paper Condition • Measurements of Distance • Marker Dot Size
Experiment Modifications • Different Solvents • Different Concentrations of Isopropyl Alcohol • More Solutes • Different Colours • Different Rf Values • E.g. Food Colouring, Homemade mixture
Experiment Modifications • Testing known Solvents • E.g. Known chemical formula • Easier to find relationships • Record speed of Solution • Relationships with respect to time
Conclusion • Intermolecular Forces • Stronger forces = Slower speed traveling upwards • Longer time in stationary phase • Retention Factor • Can help identify an unknown compound • Surface tension of Markers • All solutes tested were polar
