Carolina ChemKits®: Introduction to Paper Chromatography

A great introduction to separation science Learn how paper chromatography can separate a mixture Separate universal indicator and wet-erase markers with paper chromatography Calculate and interpret retardation factors In this introductory kit, students are introduced to paper chromatography as a means for separating a mixture. They separate the components of a universal pH indicator to gain practice in chromatography technique. Then students separate the components of wet-erase markers and calculate the retardation factors. They use this data to understand how chromatography could be...
