What is Leaf Pigment Separation via Chromatography about?

This document describes an experiment to separate the pigments in spinach leaves using chromatography. The pigments are extracted from spinach leaves using a mortar and pestle with acetone. The extract is placed as a spot on chromatography paper, which is then placed in a tube with a petroleum and acetone solution so that the different pigments travel up the paper at different rates based on their solubility. The experiment results show that carotene traveled the furthest, making it the most soluble pigment
