'Adsorption' principle is used for which of the following purification method?
- Chromatography
- Sublimation
- Distillation
- Extraction
Answer
(1) Chromatography
Solution
Chromatography: components are adsorbed to different extents on the stationary phase (e.g. silica gel, alumina) ⇒ they move at different rates and separate
∵ Sublimation and distillation use volatility (b.p.), extraction uses solubility
Answer: (1)
