What are the examples of stationary phase and mobile phase in paper chromatography?
Stationary phase -water
The stationary phase is the water trapped blw the cellulose fibresof the paper.The relatively polar molecules in the solid support material(ex-cellulose,silica,alumina etc) adsorb water molecules so well that they will remain stationary
Mobile phase - organic solvents( ex . Ethyl acetate,butanol,acetic acid,methanol etc)
stationary phase in paper chromatography is water.The stationary phase is the water trapped between the cellulose fibers of the paper. The mobile phase is a developingsolution that travels up the stationary phase, carrying the samples with it.
