Q

Describe Crystallisation [5]

A

-separates solutions into their contituent(different) parts
-solutes and solvents
-by heating the mixture so that the solvent evaporates
+crystal solutes
+collected solvent by condensing as it evaporates

Q

Describe Fractional distillation

A

separates liquids with different boiling points
-mixture heated until the liquid with lowest boiling point boils and condenses
-increase temperatuer to collect the other fractions

Q

Describe simple distillation

A

separates 2 liquids with different boiling points
-mixture heated until the liquid with lower boiling point boils
-vapour passes through condenser and cools to liquid

17
Q

What equipment is used to measure time and what is the unit?

A

stopwatch, seconds

18
Q

what equipment is used to measure temperatuer and what is the unit?

A

thermometer, degrees celsius

19
Q

what equipment is used to measure mass and what is the unit?

A

Mass balance, grams

20
Q

What 3 equipments are used to measure volume of liquid and what is the unit?

A

-measuring cylinder, volumetric pipette, burette
-cm3

21
Q

what equipment is used to measure volume of gas and what is the unit?

A

gas syringe, cm3

22
Q

what process is used to seperate two or more solids that are soluble?

A

Paper chromatography

23
Q

define pure substance

A

a substance that contains a single element or comound not mixed with any other substance

24
Q

How do you calculate Rf values in paper chromatography?

A

Distance moved by solute/distance moved by solvent (solvent front)

25
Q

describe 3 ways that the purity of a substance can be assessed

A

melting point, boiling point, chromatography

26
Q

Describe how melting point/boiling point can be used to assess purity

A

pure - exact melting/boiling point
impure - range of melting/boiling point

27
Q

describe how chromatography can be used to assess purity

A

pure-only produce only one well defined spot on a chromatogram

28
Q

describe two examples of where purity of substances is important [2]

A

manufacture of compounds used in drugs food additives

29
Q

describe solution

A

liquid mixture composed of two or more substances

30
Q

define volatility

A

How easily a substance evaporates/changes from a liquid to a gas

31
Q

define solubility

A

How easily a substance dissolves

32
Q

what is the filtrate in filtration

A

the liquid or solution that has passed through the filter

33
Q

What is distillation used for

A

to seperate a solvent from a solution

34
Q

How do you get a pure dry substance?

A

-isolate the substance
-dissolve it in water (dissolves soluble impurities)
-Evaporate the water
