Which dyes adhere best to chromatography paper?
Dyes that are more polar tend to adhere better to chromatography paper because they interact more strongly with the cellulose fibers in the paper. Therefore, water-soluble dyes like food coloring or ink tend to work well for paper chromatography.
List of mixtures that can be separated by chromatography?
pen ink, marker ink, food coloring, dyes, felt pens, and colored pigments in plants
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.
Why is chromatography useful to a forensic expert?
Chromatography is used for many purposes. Generally, it can be used to determine the elements which are mixed in the mixture where the mixture must be in in liquid and able to dissolve in the solvent ethanol. It is mainly used in determining the different substances used in food dyes.
Is food coloring in water a homogeneous mixture if so why?
Once the food coloring completely colors the water, yes. It is homogeneous because the mixture, a solution, has the same composition throughout.
What can be accomplished with paper chromatography?
Dyes and inks are used to color things we use (eg. colors for food, clothes and pens) The point of chromatography is to find out if the color in a felt pen is pure or a mixture of dyes.

Which one of the following methods is used to separate the colors in food dyes?
To separate food coloring and water you put the two into a glass. Then you put a pice of celary into it. The food coloring will run up the roots of the celary. If left long enough the celary will turn the colour of the food colouring leaving water behind.
What is the name of the separation technique that allows us to examine the dyes used in food?
chromatography :)

Is food coloring in water a compound?
Food colouring is a mixture .and you separate it using chromatography
How could the different coloured dyes in green food colouring be separated?
You can use the technique called chromatography.

Is red food coloring a mixture or a pure substance?
Both. A mixture is a subset of substances.

Why a drop of ink spreads on paper?
It has to do with the difference in affinity between the dyes that make up the ink or food coloring and the blotting paper compared to the solvent. This is paper chromatography. The dyes are carried along by the solvent (water) but is attracted to the substrate (the blotting paper). Some inks travel faster than others.

Once the food coloring completely colors the water, yes. It is homogeneous because the mixture, a solution, has the same composition throughout.
