Chromatographic technique/s based on the principle of differential adsorption is/are
A. Column chromatography
B. Thin layer chromatography
C. Paper chromatography
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
A
B only
B
A only
C
A & B only
D
C only
Answer
A & B only
Explanation
Solution
Chromatographic techniques that are based on the principle of differential adsorption are:
- Column chromatography (A)
- Thin layer chromatography (B)
Both these techniques operate on the principle of differential adsorption, where components of a mixture are adsorbed to different extents on a stationary phase and thus separate during the process.
The Correct Answer is: A & B only
