Dyes are separated by the method of ______________.
 

Chromatography is a widely used technique for separating mixtures of different components. Dyes can be separated using chromatography based on their different physical and chemical properties such as polarity, solubility, and molecular weight. Here is the general process for separating dyes using chromatography:

Prepare a sample of the mixture of dyes that needs to be separated.

Apply a small amount of the mixture to a thin layer of chromatography paper or a silica gel column.

Place the paper or column in a solvent that is compatible with the dyes being separated.

As the solvent flows through the paper or column, the dyes will begin to separate based on their different physical and chemical properties. Some dyes may move quickly through the paper or column, while others may move more slowly.

Once the separation is complete, remove the paper or column from the solvent and allow it to dry.
