Paper Chromotography Experiment by https://padlet.com/colisa/n77ujhs05czi For Science Purposes en-us 2019-03-20 04:25:57 UTC 2025-10-01 12:52:16 UTC hello@padlet.com Aim: To separate the texture colours using paper chromatography. colisa https://padlet.com/colisa/n77ujhs05czi/wish/343169046 2019-03-20 04:27:14 UTC https://padlet.com/colisa/n77ujhs05czi/wish/343169046 Conclusion: In our experiment we discovered that there is more than 1 colour in markers. In fact all the colours below are a mixture of different inks making 1 mixture( A being black, C is purple and U is light purple). This happens because the water travels up the filter paper taking the ink with it. Different colours in the markers have different solubilities, meaning they separate at different times. rouxjos https://padlet.com/colisa/n77ujhs05czi/wish/343169931 2019-03-20 04:34:04 UTC https://padlet.com/colisa/n77ujhs05czi/wish/343169931 Materials: colisa https://padlet.com/colisa/n77ujhs05czi/wish/343170021 Beaker, salt solution, bench protector, filter paper strips, straws, texters and a pencil.]]> 2019-03-20 04:34:51 UTC https://padlet.com/colisa/n77ujhs05czi/wish/343170021 Method: colisa https://padlet.com/colisa/n77ujhs05czi/wish/344073302 Step1: Put on safety gear(goggles & apron).
Step 2: Place bench protector on table.
Step3: Fill beaker up to two centimeters with salt solution.
Step4: Draw a faint line 3 centimeters up from each of the filter paper strips, horizontally.
Step5: Draw over faint line with different markers on each strip 3 times, making sure you dry the ink before applying another line on top.
Step6: Slide the strips through the straw making sure they are a fair distance apart so they won't touch in the beaker.
Step7: Place the straw over the beaker making sure that the water is just below the line of ink.
Step8: Sit back, relax and watch what happens.]]> 2019-03-22 03:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/colisa/n77ujhs05czi/wish/344073302 Discussion colisa https://padlet.com/colisa/n77ujhs05czi/wish/344073644 Although this wasn't a completely fair experiment because one of the filter paper strips was shorter in width. Meaning the water travelled up faster because there was less room for the water to cover.]]> 2019-03-22 04:00:00 UTC https://padlet.com/colisa/n77ujhs05czi/wish/344073644 rouxjos https://padlet.com/colisa/n77ujhs05czi/wish/344074519 2019-03-22 04:08:56 UTC https://padlet.com/colisa/n77ujhs05czi/wish/344074519
