Solution

Chromatography: It is the method of separation of components of solute on the basis of their mobility in the solvent.
Since the extract of flower petals is a mixture of different components, the colored component which is more soluble in solvent will rises faster and in this way, different colours get separated.
Hence, we will use the chromatography technique to separate out different pigments from an extract of flower petals.
