Q

During chromatography what does the Mobile phases move through?

A

A stationary phase

17
Q

What is the stationary phase in Paper chromatography?

A

Filter paper

18
Q

What is the Mobile phase in Paper chromatography?

A

The water

19
Q

If a substance is less soluble what does it mean?

A

Travels less distance on the filter paper

20
Q

If a substance is more soluble what does this mean?

A

Travels further

21
Q

What does RF mean?

A

Retention factor

22
Q

If a substance has a larger RF what does it mean?

A

More soluble in the solvent

23
Q

If a substance has a smaller RF what does it mean?

A

Less soluble in the solvent

24
Q

How do you calculate the retention factor (RF)?

A

Distance traveled by the substance/ Distance traveled by solvent.

25
Q

What are the 4 common gas tests?

A

Chlorine
Oxygen
Carbon dioxide
Hydrogen

26
Q

How do you test for chlorine?

A

Put litmus paper in chlorine and turns the paper white

27
Q

How do you test for oxygen?

A

Put a glowing splint in side a test tube and the oxygen will light up again.

28
Q

How do you test for Carbon dioxide?

A

Have a test tube of calcium carbonate with Hydrocholric acid and have a test tube of lime water(Calcium hydroxide) put a gas syringe in the calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid then put it in the test tube of lime water and if their are bubbles their is CO2.

29
Q

How do you test for Hydrogen?

A

Light a splint then put it in a test tube containing hydrogen which will make a squeaky pop.

30
Q

What is Limewater?

A

Calcium hydroxide dissolved in water (aqueous).
