Chemical analysis Flashcards
What is a Pure substance?
It is a substance that contains only one compound or element nothing mixed.
How can you test the purity of a substance
by measuring its melting and boiling point and comparing it to the actual boiling and melting point of the substance using the data book
If the melting and boiling point is closer to the actual melting and boiling point what does it tell you about the substance?
The more pure the substance is
How do you know if a substance is impure?
They have a range of melting and boiling points compared to their actual points.
How do you know the presence of a impure substance?
If the melting point is lower
If the boiling point increases.
What are formulations?
Useful mixtures with precise purpose that are made by following a formula.
Paint is a formulation composed of what?
Pigment
Solvent
Binder
Additives
What is a solvent?
A substance that causes things to dissolve
Give an example of solvent?
water
What is a solute?
A substance that dissolves
Give an example of a solute?
Pen dot
What is Chromatography?
is an analytical method used to separate the substance in a mixture, which can be used to identify substances.
What are the 2 phases of chromatography?
A mobile phase
A stationary phase
What is a mobile phase?
Where the molecules can move, this is always a liquid or a gas
What is the Stationary phase?
Where the molecules can’t move, this can be a solid or a really thick liquid.
