Drops of glowing fluid from a glow stick are added to a chalk so that a band is created halfway through it. The chalk is then placed vertically into a beaker filled with a small amount of acetone or alcohol - ensuring the surface of the solvent is below the dye band. The liquid is then allowed to

travel up the chalk; polar dyes would tend to stick to the chalk and not travel significantly while non-polar dyes would travel up with the solvent. Once it travels almost to the top of the chalk, it is removed from the beaker. The chalk

travels up the chalk. 2: Separation starts as the red dye is attracted to the mobile phase and starts traveling up while the blue dye is attracted to the stationary phase and stays relatively still. 3: Complete separation occurs as time
115:. As a result, ionic and more-polar dyes would be attracted to the stationary phase and move relatively slowly or a fairly small distance, while less polar dyes would migrate further as the mobile phase 158: 157: 154: 153: 159: 179:(Si-OH) groups on the surface of the silica gel, and the nonpolar components would travel further with the hexanes. Further, dyes in glow sticks can also be extracted using 426: 325: 265: 156: 282:
