Chapter 12 - Chemical Analysis Flashcards
Define Purity [1]
A substance with nothing added to it [1]
Define a formulation [1]
A useful mixture, with each component having a specific function [1]
How can you determine whether a substance is pure or not? [2]
A subtance will melt/boil at a specific temperature [1]
therefore having no impurities in the substance [1]
Give an example of how formulations are important in real life [2]
Formulations can carry out a function very effectively [1]
e.g. paracetamol can relieve pain effectively [1]
Describe the test for CO2 and state the results [2]
Bubbling CO2 into limewater [1]
Limewater turns cloudy in presence of CO2. [1]
Describe the test for chlorine and state the result [2]
Dipping damp litmus paper into chlorine mixture [1]
Turns paper white in presence of CL2 [1]
Describe the test for hydrogen and state the results [2]
Placing a burning splint in a test tube with H2 [1]
A squeaky pop sound in the presence of H2. [1]
Describe the test for O2, and state the results [2]
Placing a glowing splint in a test tube with O2 [1]
Splint relights in the presences of O2. [1]
What is meant by a mobile and stationary phase? [2]
Mobile - When the molecules can move (e.g. Liquid) [1]
Stationary - When the molecules cannot move (e.g. solids) [1]
What is chromatography? [1]
Separating substances into different components [1]
Describe the procedure of carrying out a chromatography [6]
Fill a beaker with a little bit of water [1]
Using paper, use a few drops of ink and draw a baseline in pencil [1]
Place the paper into the water [1]
Wait for 5 minutes or until the ink stops moving [1]
Measure the distance travelled by the substance and the distance travelled by the solvent and calculate an Rf value [1]
Repeat 5 times and calculate a mean [1]
Which 2 factors affect time spent in each phase? [2]
Explain what would happen to a subtance with a high solubility and low attractiveness [2]
Solubility in water [1]
Attractiveness to paper [1]
The substance would spend more time in the mobile phase [1] and less in the stationary phase [1].
State the equation used to calculate Rf values [1]
Distance of substance ÷ Distance of solvent [1]

2. Sodium
3. Potassium
4. Calcium
5. Copper
(Li) - Crimson [1]
(Na) - Yellow [1]
(K) - Lilac [1]

Give the precipitate colour formed in the following sodium hydroxide tests: [6]
1. Aluminium
2. Magnesium
3. Calcium
4. Copper (II)
5. Iron (II)
6. Iron (III)
(Al) - White (Dissolves in NaOH) [1]
(Mg) - White (Doesn’t dissolve) [1]
(Ca) - White (Orange in Flame Test) [1]
(Cu) - Blue [1]
(Fe II) - Green [1]
(Fe III) - Brown [1]
