Q

What is a pure substance

A

It is a substance that is made up of just one type of element or compound.

Q

How do the MP and BP change when a substance becomes impure

A

If a substance is impure then the melting point will be lower and the boiling point higher than the same pure substance.

Q

what is a formulation.

A

It is a mixture that has been designed to produce a useful product. Each part of the mixture plays some role for example helping absorption or changing the taste of the mixture. Each product is carefully mixed.

Q

What are the two parts of chromatography

A

The mobile phase and the stationary phase

In paper chromatography, the paper is the stationary phase and the water (or other solvent) is the mobile phase.

Q

What is a Rf value

A

It is a value for how soluble a substances is
a larger Rf value means that the component is more soluble in the mobile phase and a smaller Rf value means the component is less soluble.

Q

What factors affect Rf value

A

Each substance has a specific Rf value depending on the solvent and temperature used

Q

why does the solvent needs to be below the base line when developing a chromatogram.

A

Because if the solvent is above the base line then the food colouring’s will be washed away off the page and there will be no results.

Q

why does a chromatogram need to be removed from the solvent before the whole of the paper has become moist.

A

Because if the whole paper gets moist, then a Rt value cant be calculated for each of the components as you wont get the true distance that the components moved.

Q

why is the base line drawn in pencil not pen.

A

Because if the base line is in pen, then the ink from the pen could mix with the food colouring’s which would make the results invalid.

Q

What are instructions for a chromatography

A
  1. Get your chromatography paper and draw a horizontal baseline in pencil 1 cm above the bottom of the paper using a ruler.
  2. Place crosses on the pencil line where you are going to put the food colouring’s
  3. Use the capillary tubes to place a few small drops of the food colouring’s on the crosses
  4. Clip the wooden splint to the top of the paper and then place the paper elevated into the large beaker making sure the water line is below the pencil line.
  5. Leave the equipment for until the water reaches 1 cm below the top of the paper
  6. Quickly mark on the solvent front where the water stopped
  7. Allow it to dry
  8. Use the equation to calculate the Rt values.

Q

Explain why hydrogen pops with a lighted splint

A

Because the hydrogen is burning very quickly with the oxygen in the air in a small explosion helped by the energy from the splint.

17
Q

Explain why oxygen relights a glowing splint.

A

Because oxygen is one of the key parts of combustion and there is a much higher concentration of oxygen meaning the splint can relight.

18
Q

Explain why lime water goes milky when carbon dioxide is bubbled through it

A

Because when the carbon dioxide and lime water react, it produces a calcium carbonate which is white and insoluble.

19
Q

Explain why litmus paper goes white when in contact with chlorine.

A

Because chlorine is a bleach so when it comes in contact with the paper it bleaches it.

37
Q

What is a flame emission spectroscopy.

A

It is a technique used to monitor the composition of materials such as steel
It can see the elements present and the quantity of them

38
Q

How does flame emission spectroscopy.

A

Each element emits light of certain specific wavelengths so the wavelengths of the spectral lines reveal the identities of the elements present. In addition, the intensity of the light emitted reveals the quantity of each element in the sample

39
Q

What are the advantages of flame emission spectroscopy.

A

very accurate
can spot very small changes in the composition of materials
very fast
uses small samples

40
Q

What are the disadvantages of flame emission spectroscopy

A

very expensive
the people operating it need specialist training
The results need to be compared to data from known substances
