Q

what is a solvent

A

solvent as a substance that dissolves a solute

14
Q

what is a solute

A

solute as a substance that is dissolved in a
solvent

15
Q

what is a solution

A

solution as a mixture of one or more solutes
dissolved in a solvent

16
Q

what is a saturated solution

A

saturated solution as a solution containing
the maximum concentration of a solute
dissolved in the solvent at a specified
temperature

17
Q

what is residue

A

residue as a substance that remains after
evaporation, distillation, filtration or any
similar process

18
Q

what is a filtrate

A

filtrate as a liquid or solution that has passed
through a filter

19
Q

What materials do you need for an acid–base titration

A

(a) burette
(b) volumetric pipette
(c) suitable indicator

20
Q

Describe how to identify the end-point of a
titration using an indicator

A

end point is determined by change of colour
methyl orange: orangy in acid yellow in base

21
Q

define a locating agent

A

it is used in colourless substances to spot he different compounds in the colourless solution

22
the one that is the highest on the paper is??
the most soluble
23
what does it mean if the spot doesnt move from the pencil start line?
insoluble
24
what does it mean if there are two spots in the same height?
theyre the same compound as the same compound have the same solubilty
25
why is the substance that travels the furthest is also the more soluble?
because it implies that it is the least attracted to the paper so it just moves upwards
26
state the Rf value formula
distance moved by spot/ distance moved by solvent
27
what does it mean if we get a number over 1 when calculating the rf value?
that it's not right!! it's always under 1
28
What is filtration
used to separate an insoluble solid from a liquid
29
what is simple destillation
30
what is crystallisation
31
what is fractional distillation
