Answer

(i) The colour component which is more soluble in water dissolves first, rises faster and produces a colour band (spot) on the paper at a higher position. The less soluble colour components dissolve a little later, rise slower and form coloured bands at lower heights. In this way, three different bands will be observed.

(ii) Chromatography

(iii) To separate the pigments presents in chlorophyll.
