- BChromatography is a process in which a mixture is separated into its components based on their solubility in a
- CChromatography is a process in which a mixture is separated into its components based on their size and shape.
- DChromatography is a process in which a mixture is separated into its components based on their affinity for a
Correct answer
D. Chromatography is a process in which a mixture is separated into its components based on their affinity for a
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (D) Chromatography is a process in which a mixture is separated into its components based on their affinity for a stationary phase and a mobile phase. The mixture is introduced onto a stationary phase, and the components are separated as they move through the stationary phase with the mobile phase. An example is the separation of pigments in ink using paper chromatography.
