The paper is non-polar in paper chromatography.(a) True(b) FalseThis question was posed to me by my college director while I was bunking the class.Question is from Chromatography in section Unit Operations of Bioprocess Engineering

Answer»

The CORRECT choice is (b) False

Best explanation: Polar components will be ATTRACTED to the WATER molecules attached to the cellulose (paper) and not attracted to a nonpolar SOLVENT. The chromatogram will not CONTAIN the polar components, given that it doesn’t climb up the paper with the nonpolar solvent.
