Purpose
• Learning the basic principle of chromatography (used to
determine the makeup of a mixed solution) and the concept of
polarity through the separation of pigments using normal and
reversed-phase chromatography.
• Key Concepts
1. Chromatography
-Partition Chromatography
-Thin-Layer Chromatography
-Normal-Phase Chromatography
-Reversed-Phase Chromatography
2. Polarity
3. Electronegativity
Theory
Stages of Chromatography
Retention Time
Retention time is the characteristic time it takes for a
particular analyte to pass through the system under set
conditions.
Example of GC
Theory
Rf value (rate of flow)
The retention factor, or Rf, is defined as the distance
traveled by the compound divided by the distance
traveled by the solvent.
• Capillary tube
2. The plate is dipped into the solvent (a mixture of 1-butanol, acetic acid, DI water
in the ratio of 60:15:25), placed in a container and sealed with a watch glass.
3. Once the solvent has reached the line 1cm from the top of the TLC plate, remove
the plate from the solution and dry it.
4. Measure the Rf value of the unknown samples and compare with other pure
pigments. Using this information you can determine which pigments are
contained in the unknown sample and whether a reaction (if any) is in process or
has completed.
Caution
Prevent evaporation of the mobile phase solution.
When applying the sample to the TLC, try to make spot as small as
possible, and apply it repeatedly if it is not dark enough.
