Question

________ is process of separation whereby the components of the mixture get distributed into two liquid phases due to differences in partition coefficients during the flow of mobile phase in the chromatography column.

• A. Partition chromatography
• B. paper chromatography
• C. column chromatography
• D. thin-layer chromatography

Answer 1

The correct option is A Partition chromatography

Partition chromatography is process of separation whereby the components of the mixture get distributed into two liquid phases due to differences in partition coefficients during the flow of mobile phase in the chromatography column.
Here the molecules get preferential separation in between two phases. i.e. both stationary phase and mobile phase are liquid in nature. So molecules get dispersed into either phases preferentially.
