A student wants to separate a mixture of dyes so that the dyes in the mixture can be identified.

The apparatus the student uses is shown.

The student also tests dyes A, B, C and D.

(a)

Name the process the student uses to separate the mixture of dyes.

______

1M
(b)

The apparatus shown in the diagram is set up incorrectly. Explain why.

______

1M
(c)

The apparatus is then set up correctly.

The solvent travels up the paper.

The paper is removed and then dried.

The result is shown in the diagram.

Which of the dyes A, B, C and D are present in the mixture of dyes?

______

1M
(d)

The student identifies the dyes in the mixture of dyes using RfR_f values.

(i)

Measure the distance between:
