Due to the fact that different substances possess different retention time (they do differ from their size,shalpe,mol wt etc.)

Why do different substances travel at different speeds in a chromatography?

yes they do


What are examples of partition chromatography?

Chromatography is generally used to separate out different orgainc substances and to characterise these substances. The process involves a stationary phase, a mobile phase and either a coloured substance or a UV active stationary phase. In the case of Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) a drop of the sample to be tested is placed on a plate of silica gel containing a chromaphore (a UV active substance). The end of the plate with the drop of sample is placed into the mobile phase. The mobile phase will travel up the plate taking with it the components of the sample. The smaller the component the further it will travel. This can then be viewed using a UV light.


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 are the relations with pigment and chromatography?

the more soluble the plant pigment is with the chromatography solvent, the farther it will travel up the chromatography paper


Why did different dyes travel up the filter paper at different rates in paper chromatography?

different dyes travel with different speed/rates on filter paper in paper chromatography as they have nothing to do with the filter paper as it is the stationary medium while the rates depends upon the interaction between the solute i.e., dyes and the mobile phase i.e., the solvent.

Why do colors travel different distances in chromatography?

Because photon gravitation differs to the light travel...Ps. future technologies will be used to capture photon gravitation with the precision of laser and crystal mirrors. This helps to accelarate present time or slowdown time captured in mirrors view.

What is paper chromatography used for?

Paper chromatography is a method used for separating out different components of solution. The most common classroom use for it is to visually see the different colored dyes in ink because the different colors will travel different lengths across the paper.

Do dominant alleles move farther in electrophoresis?

Not always. Different chromosomal fragments travel different distances in electrophoresis due to their different lengths. Longer fragments are heavier and therefore travel shorter distances under the same electrical force.


How does heat travel in terms of particles in different substances?

Why do pigments travel different distances up filter paper?

It depend on the density of the pigments.


Will grains of chaff travel the same distance in wind?

no because they are not all the same size and and so they will travel different distances =) (santiya)


Why does different colour dyes move different speeds up charmatograhy paper?

What is charmatograhy paper? Just kidding! I assume you mean chromatography paper. Well, the answer to your question lies in the solubility of the different colour dyes. The more soluble the dye the faster it will travel across the paper. Also, some substances react better with the paper but I'm not sure that is the right answer.
