In this episode, we discuss chromatography.
Chromatography is a technique used to separate the components of a mixture.
This process relies on two phases: a mobile phase that carries substances and a stationary phase that impedes their movement.
The separation occurs because different substances have varying affinities for these two phases.
If a substance is more attracted to the mobile phase, it travels further; conversely, greater attraction to the stationary phase results in less movement.
The effectiveness of separation can be influenced by the solvent used as the mobile phase.
