20
Q

compounds?

A

contains 1 type of element chemically bonded together

21
Q

elements?

A

22
Q

chromotography?

A

separation of solutes in a solvent

23
Q

what does chromatography separate?

A

colour dyes

24
Q

how do you carry out chromatography?

A
  • put spots of dye on chromatography paper
  • dye would travel up the paper
  • the separation can be told by the RF value
25
Q

how do you work out the RF value?

A

distance moved by substance//distance moved by solvent

26
Q

what colour does the litmus paper go if chlorine is present?

A

white, it would get bleached

27
Q

2 phases of chromatography?

A

measuring phase (measuring the RF VALUE) and separating phase (separating the dyes)

28
Q

how do you test for oxygen?

A
  • use a glowing splint
  • insert into test tube
  • the splint with relight if oxygen is present
29
Q

how do you test for chlorine gas?

A

blue litmus paper bleaches white if chlorine is present

30
Q

how do you test for carbon dioxide?

A

limewater turns milky if hydrogen gas is produced

31
Q

how do you test for hydrogen gas?

A

place a lighted splint in test tube. if hydrogen is present it produces a squeaky pop sound

32
Q

what is active transport?

A

movement of particles

33
Q

what is osmosis?

A

movement of water from a low concentration to a high concentration

34
Q

what is mitosis?

A

-cell division

35
Q

what is a pure substance?

A

made of 1 atom and 1 particle

36
Q

how can you distinguish a pure substance from a impure substance?

A

the boiling point and the melting point

37
Q

what is a formulation?

A

a mixture that is useful

38
Q

what are everyday formulations?

A
  • paint
  • food
  • medicine
  • fuels
  • fertilisers
  • alloys
39
Q

describe how sodium thiosulfate can react with hydrochloric acid in a practical?

A

flash is put over a paper with a large x
once the reactants are mixed, the x will start to disappear
time it
the reaction should look black

40
Q

what is a catalyst?

A

a substance that changes the speed of a reaction but doesn’t affect the reaction

41
Q

a reversible reaction is endothermic in one direction and …

A

exothermic in the other

42
Q

on a graph if there’s curve it means…

A

the reaction slowed down

43
Q

what does it mean if a reaction is in equilibrium?

A

the position moves

44
Q

what happens to particles if they are heated?

A

they get more energetic
