Blog task

Before you try it, think about:

What do you suspect are the components contained in the green leaves you are using? 

How will the colors of the leaves behave when separated using water or isopropanol? 

Feel free to write in the comments. Please observe the rules of the game.

You can also send us photos of your experiment!

Good luck!

Blog Task: Separation of Colorful Felt-Tip Pen Colors

Felix gets an idea

Now you can surely answer this question:

Look at your chromatogram – into which components have the felt-tip pen colors separated? 

Why does your “chromatogram” (the filter paper with the color strips) look like this, why have individual colors migrated further than others?

Have your felt-tip pen colors separated like those in our video, or did you get a different chromatogram?

Blog Task: Paper Chromatography of Colorful Felt-Tip Pen Colors

Felix fragt sich

Before you carry out the experiment, think about it:

What do you suspect will happen when you draw on filter paper with felt-tip pens and place one end in a liquid? Will there be a difference between water and oil as the mobile phase? 

You can write your guesses in the comments. Please observe the rules of the game!
