AP® Lab 5 Separation of Molecules, Aldon

Students collect data using different solvents to identify the optimal solvent for separation. They will then illustrate the intermolecular forces that are acting on the molecules in the separation. They will then Students evaluate the chromatograph with different solvents and establish a connection between molecular structure and intermolecular attraction to the solvent. The activity contains enough materials for 15 groups of students as well as a Teacher’s Guide and Student Study Guide Copymasters Meets Big Idea 2, Investigation 5, Primary Learning Objective 2.10
