   - Visualize the separation of a complex mixture into its individual components using chromatography.

2. associate
   

   - Associate the word 'chromatography' with 'separation' and 'analysis'.
   - Think of chromatography as a tool for separating and identifying components of a mixture.

3. mnemonics
   

   - Remember the phrase 'Chroma-Graphy' to help remember the meaning of the word.
   - Use the mnemonic 'Colors Separate' to help remember the meaning of chromatography.
