Investigating Inks: Chromatography and Distillation

Investigating Inks: Chromatography and Distillation

Inks are complex mixtures, often containing several colored substances dissolved in a solvent. Investigating their composition is a fundamental skill in chemistry, revealing the individual components that make up a seemingly uniform substance. This course will explore two key separation techniques: paper chromatography and simple distillation, both vital for analyzing mixtures.
