Whatman filter paper is the traditional laboratory filter paper used for chromatograms. It is a good quality paper with reasonably reproducible performance. It is pure, containing few contaminants, that could interfere with the chromatoograms. Many published papers used it making it a kind of default standard.

What are some possible alternatives for paper chromatography?
Coffee filter paper can be used. It does not produce results as good as chromatography paper, but it still works.
A hypothesis for paper chromatography?
A hypothesis for paper chromatography depends on what you are making the hypothesis on. A hypothesis for the speed of chromatography could be that you think the speed of the process can be changed depending on the type of paper, or whatever the stationary phase is, and the type of solvent being used.
How is paper chromatography used in everyday life?
it can be used in everyday life by liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, thin-layer chromatographyand paper chromatography.
How will you separate the components of black ink using chromatography?
You can use the filter paper or chromatography paper to separate the different components in black ink.
Can paper chromatography be used to separate large amounts of solutions Why or why not?
Paper chromatography is used as an analytical method not for production.

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.
Differences between ordinary paper and filter paper?
Filter paper is more dense than usual paper so it can be used to trap particles in a filter. Tracing paper is thin and seethrough so it is easier to see what you are tracing.
What is the stationary phase in gel electrophoresis?
Stationary Phase is a layer or coating on the supporting medium that interacts with the analytes and is fixed in a place either in column or a planar surface. It can be solid, liquid, gel or solid-liquid mixture.
How can paper chromatography be used in blood test?
yes
What is the interpretation of paper chromatography?
whate is interpretation in paper chromatography
What pigment is most soluble?
assuming you used an ether based chromatography solution it will be the pigment that is at the top of the chromatography paper
What is the purpose of double spotting the chromatography paper?
The chromatography paper is spotted twice so as to increase the amount of sample used for the separation on the paper. This is to allow distinct banding of the sample into its constituents.
