Chromatography is a recent and most effective technique which was used by Tsweff, a botanist for the separation of coloured substances into individual constutients. The name Chromatography means colour writing (In Greek , Chrome = colour, graphy = writing). However, the name as such has lost its significance. The technique can be used to separate constituents from any mixture whether coloured or colourless. (i) What is the basic of Chromatographic separation ? (ii) What is the value associated with it ?

Answer» (i) Chromatography is based on selective distribution of the various constituents of a mixture between two phases, a stationary phase and a mobile phase. Different constituents migrate at different rates through stationary phase.
(ii) Chromatography is very useful for the separation of constituents and their identification from a mixture available in very small amount (even less than 5 mg or 1 mL). However, other methods of separation are not effective in such cases.

A student was asked by his teacher to separate an impure sample of sulphur containing sand as the impurity. He tried to purify it with the help of sublimation. But he was not successful. Particles of sulphur of sulphur could not be separated completely from sand. (i) Why did the sublimation process succeed ? (ii) Suggest an alternate method to affect the separation. (iii) What is the value based information associated with this ?

Answer» (i) Sulphur is not of volatile nature. Upon heating it melts. Therefore, sublimation process could not succeed.
(ii) The student should have dissolved the impure sample in carbon disulphide. It is a liquid in which sulphur completely dissolves while iron does not. From the solution, can be recovered with the help of crystallization process.
(iii) The process of sublimation is useful only if one of the constituents present in the mixture can sublime while the others do not undergo sublimation.

III is stabilized by + I effect of one `CH_(3)` group and by dispersal of + ve charge on the benzene ring.
I is stabilized by dispersal of +ve charge on the benzene ring.
II is not stabilized by any of the above factors `therefore `over all order of stability is `IIltIltIII ltIV` Hence (A) is correct.
