Material consisting of two or more different elements and/or compounds

20
Q

Impure substance

A

Material consisting of two or more different elements and/or compounds

A

Describes a substance that will not dissolve

22
Q

Melting point

A

The temperature at which a substance changes from the solid state into the liquid state

23
Q

Mixture

A

material consisting of two or more different substances, not chemically joined together

24
Q

Mobile phase

A

A substance in the liquid or gas state that moves up during chromatography

25
Q

Paper chromatography

Separation method that uses paper as the stationary phase and a solvent in the liquid state as the mobile phase

26
Q

Periodic table

A

A table in which the elements are arranged on rows(periods) and columns(groups), in order of increasing atomic number

27
Q

Phase

A

In chemistry, a substance in the solid, liquid or gas state

28
Q

Pure substance

A

Consisting of just one element or compound

29
Q

Purity

A

A measure of how pure a substance is. A 100% pure substance consists entirely of one element or compound

30
Q

Relative atomic mass

A

The mean mass of an atom of an element compared to 1/12 the mass of a C-12 atom, defined as twelve exactly. It’s simple is Ar

31
Q

Relative formula mass

A

Mr, the mean mass of a unit of substance compared to 1/12 of the mass of a C-12 atom, defined as twelve exactly. It’s calculated by adding together the relative atomic masses for the atoms in the formula of a substance

32
Q

Relative molecular mass

A

Relative formula mass applied to a molecular substance

33
Q

Residue

A

Insoluble material left behind during filtration

34
Q

Tf value Relative

A

distance travelled by a substance during chromatography, calculated as: distance travelled by substance ÷ distance travelled by solvent

42
Q

Stationary phase

A

substance in the solid or liquid state that does not move during chromatography

43
Q

Thin layer chromatography

A

A type of chromatography that uses silica or alumina spread on a plate as the stationary phase, and a solvent in the liquid state as the mobile phase
