Given below are two statements: [2025]
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:
(1)
Partition chromatography is based on continuous differential partitioning of components of a mixture between stationary and mobile phases. Paper chromatography is a type of partition chromatography. In paper chromatography, a special quality paper known as chromatography paper is used. Chromatography paper contains water trapped in it, which acts as the stationary phase.
