Paper Chromatography of Organic Acids by their Alkaloid Salts

Separation of Amino Acids by Paper Chromatography

Chromatography is a common technique for separating chemical substances. The prefix “chroma,” which suggests “color,” comes from the fact that some of the earliest applications of chromatography were to separate components of the green pigment, chlorophyll. You may have already used this method to separate the colored components in ink. In this experiment you will use chromatography to separate...

Determination of monoamino monocarboxylic acids by quantitative paper chromatography.

Many methods for chromatographic separation of amino acids are now available, but their subsequent determination, generally employing ninhydrin, often leaves much to be desired. It was felt, therefore, that there was a need for a simple method of analysis based on the convenient paper technique and employing some means of determination less fickle than ninhydrin colorimetry. The method now pres...

Effect of Inorganic Salts on the Volatility of Organic Acids

Particulate phase reactions between organic and inorganic compounds may significantly alter aerosol chemical properties, for example, by suppressing particle volatility. Here, chemical processing upon drying of aerosols comprised of organic (acetic, oxalic, succinic, or citric) acid/monovalent inorganic salt mixtures was assessed by measuring the evaporation of the organic acid molecules from t...
