Chem. Lab. Flashcards
It is the process of separating components of a mixture.
Chromatography
Several types of Chromatography:
- Elution or column;
- Paper;
- Thin layer;
- Gas chromatography.
These are the two phases in Chromatography:
- Stationary phase
- Mobile phase
The phase in which the mobile phase passes, like the special filter-type of paper.
Stationary phase
It is a phase that passes in and around the stationary phase and is characterized as solvent or a mixture of solvents.
Mobile phase
It refers to the mixture of organic compounds applied as a spot on the paper to be distributed between the two phases.
Solute
It refers to the liquid where the paper is placed in that moves more rapidly than the solute.
Solvent
It refers to the ratio of the rate of movement of the solute to the rate of movement of the developing solvent. The ratio can be expressed in terms of the distances moved by each.
RF value (rate of flow)
It is a form of matter that refers to combinations of two or more elements and/or compounds. Thus, it has no constant composition.
Mixture
It is a form of matter that has a constant and definite composition and properties.
Substance
This compound contains the element carbon and hydrogen.
Organic compound
This compound has no eitheir carbon nor hydrogen.
Inorganic compound
It refers to the temperature at which the solids melts or turns into a liquid state.
Melting point
It is defined as the temperature at which the liquid and solid phases are in equilibrium.
Melting point of a solid
It is known as the melting point range of a solid.
0.5 - 1.0°C
