Analysis Flashcards
Pure substance
One containing only one element/ compound
How to test purity
The pure substances melt and boil at specific temperatures
If impure- lower mp, larger range.
Larger bp, larger range
Formulations
Useful mixtures with a precise purpose and a measured quantity of each part
Paint
Pigment- gives colour
Solvent- dissolves other parts
Binder- forms a film that holds the pigment in place
Additives- further change the properties
Formulation examples
Pills- right concentration, consumable, long shelf life
Cleaning products, fuels, cosmetics
Contains composition on packaging
Chromatography phases
Mobile- liquid/gas
Stationary- solid/very thick liquid
Chromatography
Move between mobile and stationary phases
Mobile moves through stationary with anything dissolved in it
Chemicals that spend longer in mobile move further
Components separate bases on where they are longer
Flame emission spectroscopy
Electrons vibrate when hot, when it cools down they return and emit light
Passes through a spectroscope- produces a line spectrum
Depend on charge and electron arrangement- nothing produces the same
Intensity decides concentration
Spectroscopy for mixtures
You see which 2 make the final set of lines
Machine spectroscopy
Use instrumental analysis
Very sensitive
Very fast + automated
Very accurate
