💚 What might have made the dyes (different color dyes) travel up the paper?
💚 Why do you think the food coloring separated? Use evidence (what you see) from the picture of the chromatography strip (paper).
The food coloring separated because ________________
Chromatography is a technique that scientists use to separate mixtures into their parts.
There are three essential parts of a chromatography test.
The test mixture is what is being separated.
The medium is what the test mixture moves through.
The solvent is what helps the test mixture move.
💚 In our chromatography experiment, what was the test mixture, the medium, and the solvent?
| Stavka koja se može prevući | arrow_right_alt | Odgovarajuća stavka |
