Chromatography is used to separate the components of marker ink by identifying and determining the amount of each component. The procedure involves placing a water solution in a beaker and marking filter paper with the ink. The paper is then placed in the beaker so that the mark rises above the water level. Alcohol carries the ink components up the filter paper at different rates, separating the colors which can then be identified as purple, orange, yellow or brown. Chromatography separates pigments and colors from a mixture based on how each interacts with the solvent.

2. To know the use chromatography to
separate, identify, and determine how much
are the components of the marker ink
OBJECTIVE

3.  Alcohol (in this case is used as a
diluent the alcohol mixture is water-
based marker) –
water-based marker
 Water-based marker
 Filter paper
Backer 50 ml
MATERIAL

4. 1. Place water in the beaker.
2. Make a mark with the down on the filter
paper.
3. Place the filter paper strip in the beaker
ensuring that the mark not be down in the
water.
PROCEDURE

5. Alcohol climbs up the filter paper carrying out the
chromatography separating the cousins mix colors; in
this case the mixture is black water based, taking down
just the chromatographyyuo with paper filter observed
these colors
* Purple
* Orange
* Yellow
* Coffee

6. Chromatography is used to separate
the pigments and colors apart from a
thinner depending on pigment, or
color.
