Recall that the process of chromatography relies on a stationary phase and a mobile phase to separate mixtures based on distinct distribution properties.
Interpret experimental chromatograms and accurately calculate Rf values to identify separated plant pigments.
Apply mathematical ratios and use proper significant figures when extracting and interpreting chromatography data.
Suggest and justify the use of specific chromatographic methods to distinguish pure chemical substances from impure mixtures.
Conduct a practical investigation utilizing paper chromatography to separate colored substances and successfully calculate their respective Rf values:
