chromatography
One common method to separate amino acids from fatty acids is through chromatography. Amino acids are more polar and can be separated based on their different affinities for the stationary phase, while fatty acids can be eluted separately due to their differing solubilities. Another method could involve precipitation using different solvents where amino acids and fatty acids can be separated based on their solubilities in the respective solvents.
Amino acids are commonly referred to as the building blocks of proteins.
No, the Wolff-Kishner reduction method does not reduce carboxylic acids.

Fatty acids
Chromatography separates molecules based on their chemical properties. In the case of amino acids, they have different affinities to the stationary phase (e.g., a solid material in a column) and mobile phase (e.g., a solvent), allowing for separation. By using chromatography, researchers can identify and quantify different amino acids present in a sample.

Chromatography can be used to separate and analyze amino acids in a mixture based on their different chemical properties such as size, charge, and hydrophobicity. By comparing the retention times of known amino acids with those in the sample, identification can be achieved. The specific pattern of peaks obtained from the chromatogram can help in determining the presence and concentration of individual amino acids in the sample.
Acids in water will (partially)split into ions: protons (H+) and anions (conjugate base ions.
Strong acids: if its a strong acid, it will separate completely in water, meaning that the H+ ion concentration in the water will increase, which in turn causes the pH to decrease example: HCl -> H+ + Cl- Weak acids: weak acids don't separate completely in water, but because they are acids, they still separate. You can figure out how much of the acid has broken up by using a rice table and looking up the Ka. example: HCN <--> H+ + CN-
