Q

How does the ammonium chloride tube illustrate diffusion

A
  • Ammonium chloride forms as a white smoke towards the hydrogen chloride end
  • The hydrogen chloride molecules are heavier so diffuse slower compared to ammonia
  • Heating the tube will speed up the reaction but not change the results

Q

Define suspension

A

A solid floating in a liquid because it cannot dissolve

17
Q

Define soluble

A

A substance which can be dissolved

18
Q

Define insoluble

A

A substance which cannot be dissolved

19
Q

How is solubility measured

A
  • g / 100g solvent
  • You can use it as a ratio and scale it up and down
20
Q

How do solubility curves work

A
  • Measures solubility compared to temperature
  • Below the line = soluble
  • On the line = saturated
  • Above line = insoluble
21
Q

How do you carry out a chormatography experiment

A
  • Draw a line near the bottom of the paper in pencil - as it won’t dissolve in the solvent
  • Add spots of different dyes at regular intervals
  • Place paper in beaker of solvent - with solvent below pencil line, so inks don’t dissolve into solvent
  • Place lid on beaker - to stop solvent evaporating
  • Allow solvent to move up paper until it is just below the top
  • Take paper out and mark solvent front
  • Allow paper to dry
22
Q

How do you carry out paper chromatography

A
  • Draw a base line in pencil at the bottom of the chromatography paper - so it doesn’t dissolve in solvent
  • Add spots of dye on line in different inks
  • Place paper in beaker of solvent - ensure below solvent line so it doesn’t dissolve into solvent
  • Place lid on beaker - to prevent solvent evaporating
  • Allow solvent to move up paper, until it is near the top
  • Take the paper out and mark solvent front
  • Allow paper to dry
23
Q

What happens to soluble dyes in chromatography

A

They will move further up the paper

24
Q

What happens to soluble dyes in chromatography

A

They will move further up the paper

25
Q

What happens if a dye is insoluble in chromatography

A

It will not move from the baseline

26
Q

In terms of physical properties, what is the differance between a pure substance and a mixture

A

A Pure substance has a fixed boiling point, but a mixture may melt/boil over a range of temperatures

27
Q

What is filtration used for

A

To seperate a solid from a liquid

28
Q

Describe how to carry out filtration

A
  • Place filter paper in funner and pour in solution
  • Residue is substance left in filter paper
  • Filtrate is liquid that comes through filter paper
29
Q

What is crystalisation used for

A

To seperate a solute from a solution

30
Q

Describe how to carry out crystalisation

A
  • Solution is heated in evaporating basin to boil off water, until an almost saturated solution is formed
  • Bunsen is turned off and crystals allowed to form as more water evaporates and solution forms
  • Crystals removed by filtration
31
Q

Describe how to carry out crystalisation

A
  • Solution is heated in evaporating basin to boil off water, until an almost saturated solution is formed
  • Bunsen is turned off and crystals allowed to form as more water evaporates and solution forms
  • Crystals removed by filtration
32
Q

What is simple distillation used for

A

To seperate pure water from a solution

33
Q

Describe how to carry out simple distillation

A
  • Water from solution boils and is condensed back into liquid by condenser
34
Q

What is fractional distillation used for

A

Seperate ethanol from a mixture of ethanol and water

35
Q

How to carry out fractional distillation

A
  • Control heating temperature to ensure water condenses in column and trickles back into flask
  • Only ethanol with lower boiling point (than water) remains as vapour at top of fractionating column, and into condensor
36
Q

Where to measure ink from a chromatgram

A

Centre of the spot

37
Q

How to calculate Rf

A

Distance oved by spot (from pencil line) / Distance moved by solvent (from pencil line)

38
Q

Purpose of chromatography

A

To seperate inks from dyes
