Which solvents are used in paper chromatography ?
n-hexane,cyclohexane,carbon tetrachloride,
benzene,toluene,trichloroethylene,
Diethyl ether,chloroform,ethylacetate,
n-butanol,n-propanol,acetone,ethanol,methanol,
Water-these are the different types of solvents
used in paper chromatography.
The solvent should not interfere with the detection of the spots on the developed chromatogram.
The solvents should not undergo chemical reaction with any of the components of the sample mixture.
The composition of the solvent system should not alter with time.
What is the role of chelating agents play in paper chromatography?
The movements of the spots on the paper can be greatly modified by the addition of chelating agents.
Give some examples of chelating agents used in paper chromatography ?
