Today, we did our third experiment yay! We learned how to separate mixtures through chromatography.
The first thing we did was we had to set up our experiment by getting 3 large test tubes and put them into Erlenmeyer flasks. Water was put into each test tube. We then cut a tip on 3 of the chromatography paper. We would then have to put a dot of red/yellow/blue on one strip of chromatography paper, we would then dip that into the water in the test tube and wait for the water to come up through the paper. We did this for 2 other mixtures, green dye and an unknown substance. We observed and realized that the three substances had separated to a certain degree.
