give 5 examples of physical processes of separation
filtration,
crystallisation,
simple distillation,
fractional distillation
chromatography

Cl2 is a molecule
how many atoms of each in this compound ? Ca(OH)2
1 Ca
2 O
2 H
physical separation techniques are used to separate …………… they cant be used to separate the ………….. in a ……………..
physical separation techniques are used to separate mixtures they cant be used to separate the elements in a compound
what is filtration used to separate
insoluble solid from liquid
what does (aq) mean
aqueous, dissolved in water
how do you filter
what do you need to filter
get filter paper and funnel and beaker
pour solution through filter paper and funnel
insoluble solid left in filter paper
liquid left in beaker
what is crystalisation used for
separate a soluble solid from a liquid
describe the process of crystallisation
heat solution in beaker till solvent evaporates
Crystals of the solid left in beaker
pour/ filter excess solvent
dry crystals in oven / pat with filter paper
what is simple distillation used for
simple distillation used for separating a solid from liquid if we want to keep the liquid
2 stages of simple distillation
evaporate liquid by heating
condense vapour by cooling
process of simple distillation (4 steps)
- place solution ( liquid + solid ) in conical flask
flask connected to glass tube which is surrounded by condenser - heat solution till liquid evaporates
- vapour passes through condenser
( condenser kept cold by circulation of water around it ) - condensed liquid collected in beaker
- crystals in flask and liquid in beaker
what can simple distillation be used for and a con of this
to produce drinking water from sea water
requires a great deal of energy
what is fractional distillation used for
separating a mixture of different liquids with different boiling points
how is the set up for fractional distilation different to the set up for simple distillation
the flask containing mixture is connected to a fractionating column (long column with hundreds of glass beads)
process of fractional distillation
. gently heat mixture
. both liquids start to evaporate
(lowest bp evaporate easier)
. mixture of two vapours making way up
fractionating column
. vapours hit fractionating column, they condense + drip back into flask and evaporate again
. repeated evaporation and condensation increases amount of lower b.p chemical in fractionating column
.warm vapours past column and reach thermometer (temp of thermometer rises)
-mixture passing thermometer has more of low b.p vapour
-vapours pass into condenser and becomes a liquid.
(still a mix of two chemicals)
-temp of thermometer reaches boiling point of lower bp chemical and stops rising
-swap to new flask, now much more lower bp chemical is evaporating and condesing into flask -(Higher bp chemical isnt evaporating or condensing much)
-we get our first pure sample of low bp chemical
-Temp of thermometer rises again-
mixture of vapour condenses into beaker(more high bp then low)
- when temp is constant, swap to new beaker- relatively pure sample of high bp chemical is collecteted
what does chromatography do
separate substances based on different solubilities
how can chromotography be used to find out which pens contain a mix / one colour
draw pencil line on chromatography paper - near bottom
put dot of first colour on pencil line and dot of second next
place bottom of paper in solvent
solvent makes its way up paper dissolves ink in coloured dots
ink is carried up paper as well
what is the stationary phase
the paper, it does not move
what is the mobile phase
solvent is the mobile phase as it moves
how to tell if a dye is pure
a pure compound will produce a single spot in all solvents
how to tell if a dye is a mixture
compounds in a mixture may separate into different spots depending on the solvent used
why does paper chromatography work
different substances have different solubilities . A more soluble substance travels further up the paper than a substance that is less soluble. That way we can seperate substances based on solubility
why do we draw our staring line in pencil
if we drew line in pen, pen ink would move up the paper, with the solvent
how do you measure distance moved by chemical
from pencil line to centre of spot
Rf value =
distance moved by substance / distance moved by solvent
no unit…
how to identify an unknown substance
workout Rf value and compare to datatbase
if 1+ substances have this Rf value than compare it in other solvents
in chromatography, what would you do if different substances have the same rf value
repeat with different solvent
Before the discovery of the electron, atoms were thought to be …………………
tiny spheres that could not be divided
The plum pudding model suggested that the atom is a ……………………..
ball of positive charge with negative electrons embedded in it.
the discovery of which subatomic particle led to the plum pudding model
The discovery of the electron led to the plum pudding model of the
atom
what did the discovery of electrons show?
that atoms are not solid spheres and can be divided into smaller parts and have internal structure
why was the alpha scattering experiment carried out
to check if the plum pudding model was correct
how was alpha scattering experiment carried out?
1 alpha particles ( w/ positive charge) fired at piece of gold foil -few atoms thick
2 expected particles to travel through foil
3 some alpha particles bounced back / some deflected
why were particles deflected, bounced back , go straight through
alpha particles with + charge repelled by + charge in centre of atom
bounced back, directly striked nucleus
straight through, went through empty space
most of the particles went through foil- what did this show…..
some particles deflected showed…
most of atom is empty space
centre of atom has + charge
what model replaces the plum pudding model
the nuclear model
what conclusion did the results from the Alpha scattering experiment lead to ?
3 points
. the mass of an atom and + charge is concentrated at the centre
(nucleus)
. atom mainly empty space
describe nuclear model
most of atom is empty
positive nucleus
cloud of electron surround nucleus
how was the nuclear model adjusted
electrons orbit the nucleus at specific distances
who adjusted the nuclear model
Neil Bohr
Bohr said electrons orbit at fixed distances. why was this accepted
his work agreed with the results of experiments by other scientists
how was the electron shell (bohr) model different to the nuclear model
