apparatus used to measure mass
mass balance
apparatus used to measure volume
- burette
- volumetric pipette
- measuring cylinder
- gas syringe
define solvent
substance that dissolves a solute
define solute
substance that is dissolved in a solvent
define solution
mixture of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent
define saturated solution
- contain max concentration of solute dissolved in solvent
- at specified temperature
define residue
solid substance that remains after
- evaporation
- distillation
- filtration
- any similar process
define filtrate
liquid or solution that has passed through a filter
what apparatus is used in an acid-base titration
- burette
- volumetric pipette
- suitable indicator
how is the end-point of a titration identified
indicator
what is the word for a volume within +-0.10cm3
concordant
use of paper chromatography
- separate mixtures of soluble coloured substances
describe how paper chromatography is carried out
- samples of solutes placed on reference line
- samples placed in beaker containing solvent up to reference line
- solvent moves up filter paper, carrying solute with
what is equation for Rf
describe and explain separation and purification by a suitable solvent
- mixtures of solid substances separation using solvents
- create suspension that can be filtered
describe and explain separation and purification by filtration
- separate insoluble solid from liquid within suspension
describe and explain separation and purification by crystallisation
- allow pure crystals to be obtained from solution as it cools
- works best when large difference between solubilities at diff temp
- as temp decreases, less space for solid particles, pushed out and grad grow as crystal
describe and explain separation and purification by simple distillation
- diff substances have varying fixed points
- lower bp will evaporate first
- bp temp diff at least 50degrees
describe and explain separation and purification by fractional distillation
- separate mixture of liquids w diff bp
apparatus used in fractional distillation
- fractionating column
- thermometer
- condenser

why does the test tube need to be inverted over the flask when testing for hydrogen
hydrogen is less dense than air
