Separate different types of liquids
Separating soluble compounds

After paper chromatography has been carried out, the paper is known as?

A wet piece of paper
A still

Drag and drop to match the description to the phase of chromatography

Mobile phase
Stationary phase

The solvent
The paper

The distance travelled by a spot is determined by the solubility of the compound. How does solubility impact distance travelled?

More soluble – greater distance
More soluble – shorter distance

What is the equation for Rf values in paper chromatography?

Distance moved by spot / distance moved by solvent
Distance moved by solvent / distance moved by spot
Distance moved by solvent x distance moved by spot
Distance moved by the paper / distance moved by the spot

Which of the following are uses for paper chromatography?

Separating insoluble solids
Distinguishing between pure and impure substances
Determining the boiling point of a substance
Identifying substances by calculating Rf values
Identifying substances by comparing chromatogram patterns to patterns formed by known substances
