Separation of photosynthesis Pigments by Chromatography

Hello assalamualaikum... haiiii!!! today activity was fun! we just did a separation of photosynthesis pigments by chromatography in the morning... so ani gambar-gambar pagi tdi..fresh lah ni hehe. this is the first time me and dyla became partners, so far, we did okay. hehe love working with her. we get to do our part fair  and square. hehe nada yg slacking off. anywayyyy, tadi we picked  hibiscus leaves for the samples that need to be ground and used for the experiment. two of the four groups, must do the same experiment of the  same  leaves.

We use the  pastel and mortar to grind the leaves. we inserted a portion of acetone in the mortar to get the extraction of the photosynthesis pigment. and then we used a micro pippete to put the extracted ground liquid pigment onto the chromatography papers. 

Then the next procedure was to put the chromatography paper into the  solvent which dylaa have mixed earlier (where the solvent is the combination of 10% acetone and 90% of petroleum ether.)
waiting for the final outcome.  Introducing my GC Miss Hamadah.(in pink)
 so this is the results obtained from the chromatography practical we did :)


we're posing for Y O U lots of love from us ^ ^
