Why is chromatography useful?

Answer 1

you can use to see what colors are in pen ink

Answer:

There are several types of chromatography:

• Gas Chromatography
• Liquid Chromatography
• Ion Exchange Chromatography
• Affinity Chromatography

All allow the analysis of a solution by splitting its component parts into discernible fractions. This is useful in the analysis of unknown liqids, DNA analysis and gas analysis.

Answer 2

chromatography is very important in chemistry,it is used to analyse unknown compounds to determine there structure and much other information,it is also possible to use chromatography to separate mixtures and check for side products in a syntheses.NMR spectroscopy is important in telling how many carbons,hydrogens,etc... are in a compound,this coupled with infared spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy will tell the scientist the size,shape,structure of a compound,as well as what functional groups are present in the molecule

Answer:

Chromatography is used to analyze, identify, purify & quantify various unknown compounds.Chromatography is used in pharmaceutical industries for the synthesis of various drugs to check whether the product is synthesized from the reactants or not. It is used in petrochemical industries to check the purity of the fuel and its additive. It is also used by forensic scientists & helps them in solving different cases.

Answer 3

You probably used paper chromatography as one of the first things you ever did in chemistry to separate out mixtures of coloured dyes - for example, the dyes which make up a particular ink. That's an easy example to take, so let's start from there.

Suppose you have three blue pens and you want to find out which one was used to write a message. Samples of each ink are spotted on to a pencil line drawn on a sheet of chromatography paper. Some of the ink from the message is dissolved in the minimum possible amount of a suitable solvent, and that is also spotted onto the same line. In the diagram, the pens are labeled 1, 2 and 3, and the message ink as M.
