CHROMATOGRAPHY
• Definition: Method in which components of a mixture is separated based on how quickly different molecules dissolved in a mobile phase solvent move along a solid phase
• One type is called Paper Chromatography– Usually used to identify chemicals (coloring
agents) – Example: Identifying the chemicals in a marker
![Page 17: CHEMISTRY SEPTEMBER 30, 2014](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568134ef550346895d9c2e5e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

EVAPORATION
• Method used to separating a homogeneous (solution) mixture of a soluble solid and a solvent
• Involves heating the solution until the solvent evaporates – Examples: Sugar water solution– Heat the solution until the water (solvent) dissolve
leaving behind the sugar
