How does paper chromatography work?
Although paper chromatography is simple to do, it is quite difficult to explain compared with thin layer chromatography. The explanation depends to some extent on what sort of solvent you are using, and many sources gloss over the problem completely. If you haven’t already done so, it would be helpful if you could read the explanation for how thin layer chromatography works (link below). That will save me a lot of repetition, and I can concentrate on the problems.
