Paper chromatography is a method of
separation
What is paper chromatography
a technique used to separate and identify substances in a mixture.
What is the effect of temperature on solubility
higher temperature increases solubility for solids but decreases solubility for gases.
Give some examples of dissolving and some examples of melting
dissolving: salt in water
Melting: ice cream on a hot day
Give an example of solutions in our daily life
tea (sugar + water)
What is homogeneous?
