Role of Paper Chromatography in Separation of Mixtures
Some points on role of paper chromatography in separation of mixtures:
- In paper chromatography, components of a mixture migrate at different rates due to differences in solubility and adsorption on the paper.
- Substances that dissolve more readily in the solvent move farther along the paper with the mobile phase.
- Components that interact more strongly with the paper remain closer to the origin, creating distinct separated spots.
