Put the order of Chromatography in order

  1. Lay the paper flat and leave it to dry
  2. Draw a line with a pencil and ruler to one end of the strip of filter paper
  3. When the solvent has almost reached the top of the filter paper, remove it from the beaker
  4. Use a ruler to measure the distance the ink spot has travelled (Rf values)
  5. Place a spot of ink on the pencil line
  6. Carefully add the solvent to a level just below the ink spot, taking care not to splash the paper
  7. Cover the beaker and wait a few minutes
  8. Suspend the filter paper in a beaker so it isn't touching the sides or the bottom

Draggable itemarrow_right_altCorresponding Item
Shakes or bubble the gas through limewater
arrow_right_alt
Limewater turns milky (cloudy)
Put Damp litmus paper into the gas
arrow_right_alt
Litmus paper is bleached and turns white
Hold a burning splint at the open end of a test tube of the gas
arrow_right_alt
A squeaky pop sound is produced
Place a glowing splint in a test tube of the gas
arrow_right_alt
The splint relights.
