Results
The six different substances that were in the experiment were blue food coloring, grape juice, orange highlighter, brown dry erase marker, black sharpie and lead nitrate mixed with copper nitrate. Almost all of the substances acted differently. The food coloring was carried all the way up to the top with the water, leaving a light blue trail. At the top was dark blue and in between the dark and light blue was a dark red line. The dry erase marker did not move at all also the black sharpie did not move. The high lighter went ¾ up the page. The bottom of the streak was orange and the top was bright yellow. The copper nitrate and lead nitrate mixture was not visible before you put the potassium iodide on. Once you did though it turned yellow with a small amount brown at the top. The grape juice went all the way to the top of the paper. The higher it got the lighter the color was.
Conclusion
While doing the experiment I ran out of room on the chromatography paper so I split the substances on two different pieces of paper. Also I think that I may of put to big of a drop of food coloring on the paper. Because the excess food coloring got absorbed by the water on the bottom.
