Q

How can you measure if something is pure?

A

By measuring its boiling and melting points and comparing it to a pure substances boiling and melting point
The closer to the specific melting and boiling point the purer the substance

33
Q

What will be the precipitate colour of aluminium insoluble hydroxide?

A

White at first the goes colourless

34
Q

What will be the precipitate colour of magnesium insoluble hydroxide?

A

White

35
Q

What happens in flame emission spectroscopy as the ions heat up?

A

Electrons get excited and move up higher energy levels

When the electrons drop back to their original energy levels they release energy

36
Q

What does the intensity of the spectrum indicate and what does this mean?

A

The concentration of the ion in the solution

So the line spectra can be used to identify ions and calculate their concentrations

37
Q

Why does ions produce different line spectrums?

A

Different ions have different wavelengths so they produce different pattern of wavelengths

38
Q

What are the advantages of flame emission spectroscopy?

A

Very sensitive- can detect tiniest amount of substance
Very fast
Very accurate
