About this document

Ink Component Separation via Chromatography by PRINCESS KAYE LIM is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document provides instructions for an experiment using paper chromatography to separate the colors in markers. Students will cut filter paper strips, spot different colored markers, and develop the chromatography in solvents like water, alcohol, and acetone. They will measure how far the colors travel up the paper compared to the solvent and calculate Rf values to identify the pigments. The results will demonstrate how paper chromatography can be used to separate mixtures like the inks in markers.
