Abstract-Hypothesis The purpose of this lab report is to explain what exactly happened to the labs, the time that the experiment was executed and apply the results and conclusions that were deduced. Also, specify the errors that might have happened during the execution of the experiment. In the following experiment is going to be proved that …

…always. It was proved also that each colour because of its different characteristics has different velocity as it moves on the paper strip. The colours separated the way they did because of the differences in their molecular characteristics, specifically, their solubility in water and their rate of absorption by the paper. The most soluble and readily absorbed ink colour was the Congo red. The least soluble and least absorbable ink colour was the Light green.
