There are many heat sources available to the organic chemist, although some methods are better than others depending on the situation. Described in this section are some concepts that are common to all heating methods (e.g. how to boil controllably), followed by specifics on each heat source. Also included are methods used to cool solutions.

Thus, it occupies a central place in the study and practice of science and technology. Chemists use the scientific method to perform experiments, pose hypotheses, and formulate laws and develop theories, so that they can better understand the behavior of the natural world. To do so, they operate in the macroscopic, microscopic, and symbolic domains.

The pigments in a plant can be separated into yellow, orange, and green colors (xanthophylls, carotenes and chlorophylls respectively) through this method. The Greek name for color is chroma, and graphein is 'to write,' so chromatography can be thought of as "color writing."

Two immiscible solvents will stack atop one another based on differences in density. The solution with the lower density will rest on top, and the denser solution will rest on the bottom.

These techniques follow the same general principles in terms of how they are able to separate mixtures, and so will be discussed collectively in this section. Details specific to each technique will then be further discussed in their own sections.

Experimentally the setups are arranged more or less the same, with small differences being how the steam is added to the flask: either indirectly if a steam line is available in the building, or directly by boiling water in the flask.

When low polarity solvents are used, a TLC plate can be complete in less than 5 minutes.
