  • Chromatograp-hy
    • Used to separate substances in a mixture.
    • 2 phases
      • Stationary - where molecules can't move. Solid or thick liquid.
        • The stationary phase is the chromatography paper.
      • Mobile - where molecules can move. Always a liquid or gas.
        • The mobile phase is the solvent.
      • More soluble ones will spend more time in the mobile phase and so will travel further up the paper.
    • Rf Value
      • Distance travelled by substance / Distance travelled by solvent
