Question 1: What is the primary purpose of paper chromatography?
To measure chemical temperatures
To separate substances in a mixture
To create chemical compounds
To analyze the chemical structure
Question 2: What do the terms 'mobile phase' and 'stationary phase' refer to in chromatography?
Types of chemical reactions
Substances that move and don't move respectively
Different types of mixtures
The temperature and pressure conditions
Question 3: What happens to substances that are not soluble in the chosen solvent during chromatography?
They dissolve and move up the paper
They remain on the baseline
They evaporate immediately
They mix with the solvent
Question 4: How is the Rf value calculated in chromatography?
Distance of solvent divided by distance of substance
Distance traveled by substance divided by distance traveled by solvent
Sum of distances traveled by all substances
Average distance of all substances
Question 5: What effect does using a different solvent have on the chromatogram?
It has no effect
It can change the appearance and Rf values
It only affects the color of the spots
It makes the results inconsistent
Question 6: What is a chromatogram?
The paper used in the experiment
The pattern of spots left after chromatography
The solvent used in the process
The equipment used for chromatography
Question 7: Why is it important to cover the beaker during chromatography?
To keep the beaker warm
To prevent solvent evaporation
To increase the pressure inside
To allow light to enter
