What is chromatography ? State its two applications.

उत्तर
Chromatography is a technique used for separating two or more dissolved solids, which are present in the solution in small quantities.
Separation is based on the fact that two or more substances are soluble in the solvent but their solubility is different.
This technique has various important applications:
- To separate dyes present in black ink
- It is used in forensic science to detect and identify the trace amounts of poison present in the stomach.

Define solubility of a substance. How does it vary with temperature ?
When the solid A is added to water, it dissolves with the evolution of a lot of heat and making little explosions to form two products B and C. The properties of products B and C are entirely different from those of solid A as well as water. Moreover, products B and C cannot be reconverted into solid A and water. When another solid D is added to water, it dissolves with the absorption of a little heat to form a product E which cools down. The product E shows the properties of both, solid D as well as water. Moreover, product E can be converted into solid D and water.
(a) What type of change occurs when solid A is dissolved in water ? Why ?
(b) What type of change occurs when solid D is dissolved in water ? Why ?
(c) Name a metal which you think could behave like solid A. Also name the products B and C.
(d) Name the solid D if it is the one which is used in making ordinary dry cells.
