Among the following, in which type of chromatography, both stationary and mobile phases are in liquid state?

Among the following, in which type of chromatography, both stationary and mobile phases are in liquid state?
  1. Gas-liquid chromatography
  2. Ascending paper chromatography (Partition chromatography)
  3. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) 
  4. Thin layer chromatography (TLC)

Solution

In paper chromatography both the mobile and stationary phases are liquids. The stationary phase liquid would be an immiscible liquid with the mobilephase.The stationary phase liquid would be an immiscible liquid with the mobile phase.
Column and thin layer chromatography are illustrations of liquid/ solid chromatography where the mobile phase is a liquid while the stationary phase is a solid.
