Q

Are there lots or only some forces of attraction between the particles in a liquid?

A

Only some, meaning the particles are free to move, but tend to stick together

Q

Do the particles in a liquid get faster while being heated?

A

Yes, the hotter the liquid gets, the faster they move, this causes the liquids to expand slightly when heated

Q

Do the particles get faster as the gas is heated?

A

Yes, the hotter it gets, the faster the particles move
The gas will either expand or their pressure will increase

Q

What is it called when a solid is heated into a liquid?

A

Melting

20
Q

What is it called when a liquid is cooled to a solid?

A

Freezing

21
Q

What is it called when a liquid is heated to a gas?

A

Evaporating

22
Q

What is it called when a gas is cooled to a liquid?

A

Condensing

23
Q

What is it called when a solid is heated to a gas?

A

Subliming

24
Q

What is it called when a gas is cooled to a solid?

A

Deposition

25
Q

Are atoms rearranged during chemical reactions?

A

Yes, this causes chemical changes

26
Q

What are chemical changes?

A

Chemical changes happen during chemical reaction, when bonds between atoms break and the atoms change places
The atoms from substances you start off with (the reactants) are rearranged to form different substances (the products)

27
Q

Are chemical changes hard to reverse?

A

Yes

28
Q

How many elements / compounds do pure substances contain?

A

One

29
Q

What is substance that contains more than one compound called?

A

A mixture

30
Q

How can the purity of a substance be tested?

A

Using melting points, this can be done by heating the substance; a pure substance should have on continuous melting point, so should all be melted/boiled off at the same point

31
Q

What is simple distillation used for?

A

It is used for separating out a liquid from a solution

32
Q

What is fractional distillation used for?

A

It is used for separating a mixture of liquids

33
Q

What is filtration used to do?

A

To separate insoluble solid from a liquid

34
Q

What can filtration also be used for?

A

It can also be used for purification

35
Q

What does crystallisation do?

A

It separates a soluble solid from a solution

36
Q

How many phases are involved in chromatography?

A

There are two phases

37
Q

What is chromatography used for?

A

It is used for separating a mixture of soluble substances and identifying them

38
Q

What is the first phase of chromatography called, and what is it?

A

It is called the mobile phase, and this is where the molecules can move; this always a liquid and a gas

39
Q

What is the second phase of chromatography called, and what is it?

A

It is called the stationary phase, and this is where the molecules can’t move; this can be a solid or a really thick liquid

40
Q

In paper chromatography, what is the mobile phase?

A

A solvent

41
Q

In paper chromatography, what is the stationary phase?

A

A piece of filter paper

42
Q

How do you work out the Rf value?

A

It is:
distance travelled by solute/
distance travelled by solvent

43
Q

What is the baseline in chromatography written with?

A

Pencil, as it won’t move with the solvent

44
Q

What are the three main sources of water the UK uses?

A

Surface water (from lakes, rivers and reservoirs)
Ground water (from aquifers -rocks that trap water underground)
Waste water (from water has been contaminated by human process, e.g. defecation)

45
Q

What are the three steps in water purification?

A

Filtration - a wire mesh screens out large twigs, and then gravel and sand beds filter out any other solid bits
Sedimentation - iron sulphate and aluminium sulphate is added to the water, which makes fine particles clump together and settle at the bottom
Chlorination - chlorine gas is bubbled through to kill harmful bacteria and other microbes

46
Q

Can you get potable water by distilling sea water?

A

Yes, however it is expensive

47
Q

Does water used in chemical analysis need to be pure?

A

Yes, as any water other than deionised water may interfere with the reactions
