disadvantages of burette

Answer 12

hard to read
larger compared to a pipette

Question 13

what is a solvent

Answer 13

solvent as a substance that dissolves a solute

Question 14

what is a solute

Answer 14

solute as a substance that is dissolved in a
solvent

Question 15

what is a solution

Answer 15

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

Question 16

Answer 16

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

Question 17

what is residue

Answer 17

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

Question 18

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

Question 20

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

Answer 20

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

Question 21

define a locating agent

Answer 21

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

Question 22

the one that is the highest on the paper is??

Answer 22

the most soluble

Question 23

what does it mean if the spot doesnt move from the pencil start line?

Answer 23

insoluble

Question 24

what does it mean if there are two spots in the same height?

Answer 24

theyre the same compound as the same compound have the same solubilty

Question 25

why is the substance that travels the furthest is also the more soluble?

Answer 25

because it implies that it is the least attracted to the paper so it just moves upwards

Question 26

state the Rf value formula

Answer 26

distance moved by spot/ distance moved by solvent

Question 27

what does it mean if we get a number over 1 when calculating the rf value?

Answer 27

that it’s not right!! it’s always under 1

Question 28

What is filtration

Answer 28

used to separate an insoluble solid from a liquid
