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.

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.


What happens when particles of a material move farther?

Do sound waves move closer or farther away from a vibrating object?

farther away


Which is true The more a star appears to move the farther it is from earth The less a star appears to move the farther it is from earth Stars that do not appear to move are very close to earth?

The less a star appears to move, the farther it is from Earth. Stars that do not appear to move are very far away from Earth, making their apparent motion negligible from our perspective due to the vast distances involved in space.


How do levers allow parts of the body to move farther then others?

Levers are formed when muscles and bone act together. A lever is a rigid rod that turns a joint and is used so that a small force can move a much bigger force.


Infer why algae contain pigments other then just cholorophyll?

If you wanted to enjoy longer periods of daylight in the summertime would you move closer to the equator or farther away from it?

You would move farther away from the equator because of the tilt of Earth's axis.


How do pigments migrate?

Pigments migrate through a process called chromatography, where they are separated based on their size and solubility in a solvent. As the solvent travels up a chromatography paper, pigments with higher solubility move faster and travel further, resulting in distinct bands of separated pigments. The migration of pigments in chromatography is based on their individual chemical properties and interactions with the solvent.


What is it when plates move farther and farther apart?

When plates move farther and farther apart, this is known as seafloor spreading. It occurs at mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed as plates diverge. This process is driven by convection currents in the Earth's mantle.


Do colder particale move farther apart?

No. They move closer together so they can share what little heat they have.
