CHAPTER 12 Flashcards
what is a pure substance
something made from just one substance
what can a put substance be
an element or a compound
what are the fixed points of an element or compound
its melting and boiling points
test for water
turns white, anhydrous copper sulphate blue
test for pure water
its melting point is exactly 0 degrees and its boiling point is exactly 100
how can the fixed point of substance be used to identify it
pure substances have specific temperatures at which they boil/melt and these can then be checked in a data base
what will impurities do to the melting point of a substance
it will lower it
what will impurities do to the melting range of a substance
it will increase it
what will impurities do to the boiling point of a substance
it will increase it
how to test a substance’s purity
measure its melting and boiling points
what is a formulation
a mixture with a specific purpose
examples of formulations 4
paint
tablets
cosmetics
fertilisers
main components of a tablet 4
active drug
smooth coatings
colourants
sweeteners
why is the formulation of a tablet so important
it must have a long enough shelf life, be consumed,able and deliver the drug to the right part of the body
main components and functions of these in paints
pigment for color
solvent - alters viscosity for easy painting
binder- forms a protective film when paint dries
what is chromatography
an analytical method used to separate substances in a ,mixture
what are the two phases in chromotography
mobile phase
stationary phase
what is the mobile phase
where the molecules can move. it is a liquid and is what carries molecules up the stationary phase
what is the stationary phase
where the molecules can’t move and are carried by solvent
what is the rf value
a ratio of the distance travelled by the solute and the solvent
how to calculate rf
distance travelled by substance / distance travelled by solvent
why is the rf value useful
if two rf values match the substance may be present, it is an easy means of comparison
what does a single spot on a chromatogram show
a pure substance
what does the amount of time molecules spend in each phase depend on
how soluble they are in the solvent how attracted they are to paper
what happens to molecules with a high solubility and lower attraction to paper
they will travel further
how are components of a substance separated
they have different forces of attractions to the paper
what is formed between the mobile and stationary phases during chromotography
an equilibrium
which reaction to do to test for hydrogen
react zinc and sulphuric acid to form zinc sulphate and hydrogen
test for hydrogen
hold a lit splint in hydrogen
if the hydrogen is present it will make a squeaky pop
test for oxygen
a glowing splint relights
test for carbon dioxide
limewater (calcium hydroxide ) turns cloudy
