How is chromatography used to study plant pigment?
chromatography is basically a technique used for the separation of different components.... plant pigment consist of different components..... the sample is taken nd spotted over a chromatography paper..... nd den it is kept in suitable solvent to get separated...... different components travel different distance on chromatogram.... dis is how v cn use chromatography to study plant pigments...
What is the purpose of the solvent in chromatography?
The basic purpose of the solvent is to move the pigments up the chromatography paper through capillary action so that the pigments can be separated. The basic importance of chromatography is to separate different solvents by their molar mass. In doing so, one can separate the different pigments within a solution and measure how much of each pigment is present.
Why do the pigments separate during column chromatography?
Because the retention coefficients of different substances are also different.
Chromatography separates a mixture of?
Chromatography separates a mixture of pigments, usually in inks. You can separate colours in food and felt tips. The different solubilities of the different ink pigments, make some rise above others so you can see them clearly.
How can chromatography separate out the different pigments in the paint?
Chromatography works by separating inks into the different colours they are made of. You see, the paint is a solute and if it is added to a solvent and dissolves you have a solution.

How do you extract green pigments from plants?
A technique called Chromatography is used.
What procedure did you to separate plant pigments?
Paper chromatography can be used to separate pigments in plants. The pigments are separated into chlorophylls (greenish colors) and carotenoids (yellowish colors).
What method can be used to separate the colours of a leaf?
In order for a biologist to sepearate leaf pigments, he should use chromatography. Hope this helps because I too, had to answer a question just like this for biology!
What factors affect separation of pigments?
...are: -the attraction to the paper -the solubility of the pigments -the size of the particles posted by Huguito Doutre
What procedure did you use to separate plant pigments?
Place leaf in beaker and heat with Bunsen burner until water has discolored and boiled, then place leaf in test tube filled methylated spirits and place in same beaker as before with the burner turned OFF. Methylated spirits boils at around 80 degrees Celsius so when placed in heated water it will boil. This process will separate the chlorophyll (pigment) in the leaf.
Uses for paper chromatography?
They are used in many scientific studies to identify unknown organic and inorganic compounds. They are also used in crime scene investigation, DNA and RNA sequencing, among others. Essentially, any solution can be separated through some form of chromatography.
What Separation technique of pigments found in an oak leaf?
Distillation
