The solubility of pigments depends on their chemical structure, with more polar pigments being more soluble in polar solvents like water. Pigments with functional groups that can form hydrogen bonds or interact with solvent molecules tend to be more soluble. Size and shape of the pigment molecule also play a role in determining solubility.

Why do some pigments move farther up the chromatography strip than others?

Different pigments are not equally soluble in the solvent. Also because they are attached to the fibers of the paper differently (hydrogen bonds, etc). Therefore, the pigments move at different rates. The more soluble the pigment, the farther up the pigment will move.

There are many different types of hydroxides and some are soluble and others are insoluble.


What is wood solubility in water?

As wood is made of many, many chemical substances, some components may be more soluble than others. For example, some ionic substances containing sodium and potassium ions would be completely soluble, while, for example, some starches would be considerably less soluble.


Why do some pigments move farther up the chromotogram tha others?

Pigments move at different rates in chromatography because they have varying molecular weights, sizes, and polarities. Lighter, less polar pigments travel faster because they interact less with the stationary phase and are carried further by the mobile phase. Heavier, more polar pigments move more slowly as they have stronger interactions with the stationary phase.

Can dogs see pigments?

Dogs can see some pigments and not others. It is very much like red/green colorblindness: they can see blue and yellow, but red and green appear grayish to them.


What term describes substances that absorb some wavelenghts of lights?

The term is "pigments." Pigments are substances that selectively absorb certain wavelengths of light and reflect others, giving them their characteristic color appearance.


Is coriander water soluble?

Coriander, particularly its leaves (cilantro), contains both water-soluble and fat-soluble components. The flavor compounds and some vitamins, such as vitamin C, are water-soluble, while others, like some essential oils, are fat-soluble. Therefore, when coriander is used in cooking, its water-soluble nutrients can dissolve in water during the cooking process, but the aromatic oils remain primarily in fat.


Is carvacrol water-soluble?

Yes, carvacrol is partially water-soluble. It can dissolve in water to some extent but is more soluble in organic solvents like alcohol and oils.


Why do some trees change color before others?

Some trees change color before others because they are more sensitive to changes in temperature and daylight. This sensitivity triggers a process that causes the leaves to stop producing chlorophyll, revealing the other pigments in the leaves that create the vibrant fall colors.


What is a term that describes substances that absorb some wavelengths of light?

Pigments are substances that absorb some wavelengths of light and reflect or transmit others, giving them their color.


Why are some substances soluble and some insoluble?

some substances are soluble and some arn't because it all depends on the particles. If the particles of a substance are attracted to it's own particles and not the waters then it is insoluble, but if the substance is more attracted to the water's particles then it's own's, it is soluble.
