Question

question 3. given the diagram representing a process being used to separate the colored dyes in food coloring. which process is represented by this diagram? distillation chromatography evaporation filtration

Explanation:

Chromatography is a technique used to separate mixtures into their components. In paper - chromatography, like shown in the diagram, a drop of the mixture (food coloring) is placed on paper and the paper is dipped in a solvent (water). Different components of the mixture move up the paper at different rates based on their solubility in the solvent and affinity for the paper, thus separating them. Distillation is for separating components based on boiling points, evaporation is for separating a soluble solid from a liquid by vaporizing the liquid, and filtration is for separating a solid - liquid mixture where the solid is insoluble in the liquid.

Answer:

B. Chromatography
