About this Simulation

This interactive paper chromatography simulation models how pigments and dyes separate based on solubility differences. Learners can adjust variables like solvent properties and observe real-time separation patterns, discovering how chromatography reveals mixture composition and compound properties through hands-on virtual experimentation.

Learning objectives: Understand the principles of chromatography and how substances separate by differential solubility | Analyze pigment and dye composition in mixtures using interactive visualization | Apply chromatography concepts to identify unknown compounds and evaluate separation effectiveness
