What are the 5 steps to lighten a bunsen burner?
Put the Bunsen burner on a heatproof mat Join the Bunsen burner to a gas tap Close the air hole Light a wooden splint and hold it over the chimney Turn on the gas tap
What colour is the non-luminous flame(from bunsen burner)
Blue
What colour is the luminous flame(from bunsen burner)
yellow
Which flame is easier to see(from the Bunsen burner)
Luminous flame
What does this safety signal mean: Flammable
Any substance that will burn if exposed to an open flame.
What does this safety signal mean: Explosives
A substance that may explode if exposed to an open flame
What does this safety signal mean: Toxic/poison
This is a chemical that can lead to death if inhaled, ingested or absorbed by the skin.
What does this safety signal mean: Corrosive
A substance that can destroy or burn living tissue and can eat away other materials.
What does this safety signal mean: Irritant
A substance that causes inflammable upon contact with skin or mucous membrane
What does this safety signal mean: Environmental
Substances that are harmful to the environment. They must get rid of properly not down the sink.
What does this safety signal mean: Harmful
The substances are similar to toxic substances but are less dangerous.
What does this safety signal mean: Oxidising
These substances provide oxygen allowing them to burn more fiercely.
Properties of solid
Have a high density because particles are closely packed together
Cannot be compressed because of really little space between particles
Have a fixed shape because particles are held together
Cannot diffuse because particles are not able to move
Properties of liquids
Have a fairly high density because the particles are close together
Cannot be compressed there is very little empty space between particles
Take up the shape of the container because particles can move
Can diffuse because particles can change places
Properties of gases
Have a low density because particles are spaced far apart
Can be compressed because there is space between particles
Don’t have a fixed shape because the particles move rapidly in all directions
Can diffuse because particles can change places
Protons
positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom
Neutrons
Neutral particles found in the nucleus of an atom
Electron
Negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus
Charge and mass of a proton
Mass= 1, Charge= +1
Charge and mass of an electron
Mass= very small, Charge= -1
Charge and mass of a neutron
Mass=1, Charge= 0
Full form RF and how to work it out
Retention factor. RF= distance from the base line to the spot/ distance from the base line to the solvent front
