Question

The basis of chromatography for separating components of a mixture is:

	a.	the thermal conductivity of a compound dispersed in a mobile phase.
	b.	the differing movement of particles of different mass in an electric field.
	c.	the interaction of the components with both stationary and mobile phases.
	d.	the interplay of gravity and intermolecular forces.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Chromatography is the laboratory technique used to seperate the coloured components of the mixture.

It is the technique of separating the components, or solutes, of a mixture on the basis of the relative amounts of each solute distributed between a moving fluid, called the mobile phase, and a contiguous stationary phase.
