Answer 1

Chromatography

Step-by-step explanation:

Chromatography is a technique for separating mixtures that involves the use of a moving liquid and filter paper. The solvent travels through the spots on the paper, taking the chemicals away in the opposite direction. If the solvent combination has been properly chosen, each of them will move at a different velocity than the others.
