CHEM 12.1-12.3 Flashcards
pure substance
single element of compound not mixed with any other substance
what is used to distinguish pure substances and mixtures
melting and boiling point
everyday language pure element
a pure substance can mean a substance that has nothing added to it, unadulterated and in its natural state.
impure substance
melting point lowers and boiling point increases
formulations
a mixture that has been designed as a useful product. Many products are complex mixtures in which each chemical has a particular purpose.
how are formulations made?
mixing the components in carefully measured quantities to ensure that the product has the required properties
what are examples of formulations?
fuels, cleaning agents, paints, medicine, foods
what is chromotography used for
to separate mixtures and can give information to help identify substances.
Rf value
distance moved by substance/distance moved by solvent
how can you identify compounds in chromotography
differebt compounds have diff rf values so identify compounds
mobile phase
solvent
stationary phase
chromo paper
chromotography uses two phases
the stationary phase is attracted to the paper
that mobile phases is soluble in the solvent
test for oxygen
glowing splint in steered into test tube with gas. The splint relights in oxygen
test for hydrogen
burning splint held at opening of test tube and squeaky pop
