Question

State the principle used in the chromatography technique used in the separation of mixture.

Answer 1

• Chromatography is a technique for the separation of a mixture by passing it in solution or suspension through a medium in which the components move at different rates.
• The different components of the mixture travel at different speeds, causing them to separate from one another.
• For example, Ink which is a mixture of several dyes, we can separate these colors from one another using chromatography.

Therefore, in the chromatography technique different components of the mixture travel at different speeds, causing them to separate from one another.
