JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2025 - 29th January Evening Shift - No. 4)

Given below are two statements :

Statement (I): In partition chromatography, stationary phase is thin film of liquid present in the inert support.

Statement (II): In paper chromatography, the material of paper acts as a stationary phase.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below :

Statement I is true but Statement II is false
Statement I is false but Statement II is true
Both Statement I and Statement II are false
Both Statement I and Statement II are true

Explanation

Statement I : Correct

Partition chromatography - The separation of components between two liquid phases. The stationary phase is a thin film of liquid present on an inert support. The liquid film allows for the separation of substances based on their solubilities between the stationary phase and mobile phase.

Statement II : False

In paper chromatography, the paper itself does not act as the stationary phase. The stationary phase is the water trapped within the pores of the paper. The paper serves as a support for the water layer.

So, Statement I is correct and Statement II is incorrect.
