6.4 Explain: (ii)Column chromatography.
Column chromatography-
The principle of chromatography is based on, the different component of the mixture is getting adsorbed to a different extent on an adsorbent. In this, there are two phases one is mobile and the other is immobile phase. In column chromatography, column is generally used as a stationary phase. The mobile phase is may be a gas or liquid. The mobile phase is forced to move over the stationary phase. The adsorbed component is removed with the help of a suitable solvent.
