JEE Main 2025 Jan 29 Shift 2, Chemistry Q3: Purification Methods
Given below are two statements :
Statement (I) : In partition chromatography, stationary phase is thin film of liquid present in the inert support.
Statement (II) : In paper chromatography, the material of paper acts as a stationary phase.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- A
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
- B
Statement I is true but Statement II is false
- C
Both Statement I and Statement II are true
- D
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Statement I: The definition of partition chromatography is correct. A thin liquid film coats the inert solid support and acts as the stationary phase. True.
Statement II: In paper chromatography the actual stationary phase is the water adsorbed in the cellulose pores of the paper, not the paper material itself. False.
Only Statement I is correct.
