crystilisation,evaporation,filtration - chemistry Flashcards
what is the scientific terminology for a mixture with a solute that does not dissolve in the aqueous solution?
insoluble solid
what is the scientific terminology for a solution with a solute that dissolves in the aqueous solution?
soluble solid
what is the job of filtration?
To separate insoluble solids from liquids
what is the job of filter paper?
it contains tiny holes so that water can pass through but not solids
what are the two separation options for separating a solotion?
crystallization and evaporation
what is the benefit of evaporation?
it is a quick and easy method for separating the solids and liquids
what is wrong with evaporation?
When heated with a bunsen burner, some solids decompose (Thermal decomposition) and break easily
what are the two differences that crystallisation has to evaporation?
you heat the solution more gently (e.g using a water bath)
To dry them, you can either place them somewhere warm or warm them in the oven
