C8- Purity And Formulations Flashcards
Purity in chemistry
Something that only contains one compound or element throughout
How boiling or melting point tells you how pure a substance is
Will melt or boil at a specific temperature, the closer to actual melting or boiling point the purer it is
Formulations
Useful mixtures with a precise purpose
Chromotography
Analytical method used to seperate the substances in a mixture
Two phases of chromatography
Mobile phase- where molecules can move. This is always liquid or gas
Stationary phase- where molecules can’t move. This can be a solid or a really thick liquid
Molecules in paper chromatography
Molecules with higher solubility which are less attracted to the paper will spend more time in the mobile phase and go further up the paper
Chlorine test
Chlorine test bleached damp litmus paper, turning it white
Oxygen test
If you put glowing splint inside a test tube containing oxygen, the oxygen will relight the glowing splint
Carbon dioxide test
Bubbling carbon dioxide through an aqeous solution of limewater causes solution to turn cloudy
Hydrogen test
Hold lit splint at open end of a test tube containg hydrogen, you’ll get a sqeaky pop (the noise comes from the hydrogen burning quickly with the oxygen in the wir to form H2O)
