MCQ on Chromatography with Answers (PDF)







Chromatography is a laboratory technique used to separate, identify, and analyze components in a mixture. It involves a stationary phase and a mobile phase. As the mixture moves through the stationary phase, different components travel at different rates, leading to separation. Types include gas, liquid, paper, and thin-layer chromatography, each with specific applications. This is an MCQ on Chromatography with Answers.
