17
Q

……. is used to separate a soluble solid from a liquid.

A

Evaporation

18
Q

……. is a process of obtaining a soluble solid from a solution by heating the solution until all the water has boiled off

A

Evaporation to dryness

19
Q

Process of evaporation to dryness

A

Obtaining a soluble solid from a solution by heating the solution until all the water has boiled off

20
Q

If we heat the solution so that only some of the solvent vaporises, and then leave the hot saturated solution to cool, some of the solid reappears as pure …….
this is called……

A

Crystals, crystalization

21
Q

Simple distillation is used to separate the …….(liquid) from a solution

A

Solute

22
Q

Boiling chips are added to

A

Ensure smooth boiling

23
Q

As the solution boils, vapour rises. If distillation is allowed to carry on, ……

A

a solid residue of the salt will be left in the flask

24
Q

The condensed water in simple distillation in the conical flask is called the….

A

Distillate

25
Q

The separating funnel is used to….

A

Separate two liquids which do not mix together

26
Q

Mixtures that do not mix together are…

A

Immiscible

27
Q

In the separating funnel, when the tap is opened, what drained?

A

The densest layer is allowed to drain into the beaker.

28
Q

Process of separating a mixture of miscible liquids which dissolve in ……

A

Chromatography, same solvent

29
Q

Process of separating dyes in food colouring, ink or pigments

A

Paper chromatography to a chromatogram

30
Q

Some solutes are less soluble in the solvent and thus does not travel very far across the paper. What does this show?

A

Difference in solubility allowing the dyes in the food colouring to be separated

31
Q

Process of separating a mixture of miscible liquids with different boiling points.

A

Fractional distillation

32
Q

In fractional distillation, explain what is happening in the fractionating column

A

The liquid with the lower boiling point passes into the condenser. Higher boiling point condenses and falls back into the flask.

33
Q

What does presence of impurities do to the melting points?

A

Increases the melting points, causing the substance to melt over a range of temperatures.

34
Q

Suitable drying agent for carbon dioxide

A

Fused calcium chloride.

35
Q

Suitable drying agent for Ammonia

A

Quicklime (calcium oxide)

36
Q

Suitable drying agent for Hydrogen

A

Fused calcium chloride

37
Q

Fused calcium chloride. It readily absorbs moisture from the air, So it must be…

A

Freshly heated before use

38
Q

Quicklime (calcium oxide) absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air, so it must be…

A

Freshly heated before use
