if you had sandy water, describe how you
would get the sand on its own after filtering
Place the wet sand in a warm oven to dry completely.
Explain how you know carbon dioxide (CO2) is a
compound.
Carbon dioxide is a compound because it contains
two different types of element that are chemically
bonded together.
what is filtration used to separate?
Used to separate insoluble solid from solvent
what is Chromatography used to separate?
Used to separate and identify different substances in a solution
what is Simple distillation used to separate?
Used to separate a solid from liquid and keep the solvent
what is Fractional distillation used to separate?
Separates liquids due to their different boiling points
what is Crystallisation used to separate?
Removes a soluble solid from a solvent
Describe how the you could get a sample of pure sodium chloride from the rock salt.
1) Add water to the rock salt
2) Stir and warm it so that the salt dissolves
3) Filter the mixture using filter paper to separate the sand and leave the salt water as filtrate
4) Leave the sand in a warm oven to fully dry out
5) Heat the filtrate (salty water) in an evaporating dish using a Bunsen burner
6) Stop heating once crystals begin to form
7) Leave in a warm place until the water fully evaporates leaving salt crystals
