TITLE:
Candy Chromatography
OBJECTIVE:
To observe the separation of a liquid solution through paper chromatography.
MATERIALS:
M&Ms and Skittles
Aluminum foil (2)
Droppers (2)
Tweezers (2)
Pencil (1)
Chromatography paper (2)
Toothpicks (7)
1% salt solution (50ml)
250 ml beaker (2)
HYPOTHESIS:
These are the M&M and Skittles colour I think I will see after the experiment.
Red: I think the colour after the experiment will be red because red is a primary colour, no colours mix together to form a red.
Yellow:I think the colour after the expriment will be yellow because yellow is a primary colour, no colours mix together to form a yellow.
Orange: I think the colour after the experiment will be red and yellow because orange is a secondary colour, red mix with yellow is orange.
Brown: I think the colour after the experiment will be red, yellow and blue because brown is red mix with blue and yellow is brown.
Green: I think the colour after the experiment will be blue and yellow because green is a secondary colour, blue mix with yellow is green.
Blue: I think the colour after the experiment will be blue because blue is a primary colour and no colour mix together can get a blue.

Chromatogram of skittles
Chromatogram of M&M
GUIDE QUESTIONS:
1. Describe what happened to the salt solution during and after the experiment.
The salt solution was ascending to the paper during the experiment, and after that it start changing the colour spot I put on the paper.
2. Describe what happened to each colour spot during and after the experiment.
The red is still red, yellow=yellow, orange=orange, green=blue+yellow, blue=blue, purple=red+blue and brown=yellow,red and blue/green.
3. Did your results support or reject each part of your hypothese? Why or why not.
The red,yellow,green,blue,purple and brown parts support my hypothesis, because the chromatogram of these colours are the same as my hypothesis, but the orange is not, because the chromatogram of orange is still orange.
4. Compare the chromatograms of the M&Ms and Skittles. What are the similarities? What are the differences?

4. Compare the chromatograms of the M&Ms and Skittles. What are the similarities? What are the differences?
This is a venn diagram that compare the chromatogram of M&m and Skittles. Skittles does not have blue and brown colour candy. But it has purple. M&M does not have purple but it has blue and brown. So these three colours do not involved in this comparing. The other colours' chromatogram are the same
5. From a scale of 1 to 10, how will you rate your participation in this experiment? Why?
9, because I followed the instructions and do all things I needed to do. And I am really enjoy this experiment.
6. From a scale of 1 to 10, how will you rate your partner's participation in this experiment? Why?
9, because Adrien did this experiment seriously, and was following the instructions.
7. How can you improve this experiment?
I think we should have a bigger piece of aluminum foil because we need to put 5 to 6 M&Ms or Skittles on them, and the colours are easy to mix together.
