question 3. a student has a dried spot of purple ink that contains a mixture of two different dyes whose properties are described in the table below.\nsubstance form at r.t.p. solubility boiling point magnetism\nblue dye solid powder very soluble n/a not magnetic\nred dye solid powder slightly soluble n/a not magnetic\nthe student wants to separate the dyes from each other. he decides to use chromatography with water as the solvent.\npart a. which of the substances is more soluble? the blue dye is more soluble than the red dye.\npart b. when the water soaks up the paper strip, what will happen?\npart c. can chromatography be used to effectively separate the dye
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Understand chromatography principle
In chromatography, more - soluble substances move further with the solvent.
Step2: Analyze solubility of dyes
Blue dye is very soluble and red dye is slightly soluble in water.
Step3: Predict movement
Since blue dye is more soluble, it will travel further with the water as the solvent on the paper strip.
Answer:
The blue dye will travel further than the red dye.
