Experimental techniques and chemical analysis Flashcards
What are the 4 methods of seperation?
Filtration
Crystallisation
Simple distillation
Fractional distillation
Define filtration
Used for insoluble substances in a liquid
Define residue
Thing that stays behind after filtration
Define filtrate
Liquid that passes through the funnel during filtration
Define crystallisation
Used to seperate a dissolved solid from a solution; when the solid is much more soluble in hot solvent than in cold solvent
Define simple distillation
Used to seperate a dissolved solid from a liquid
Mixture is heated until boiling point is reached
Liquid to Gas
Gas passes through condenser
Liquid is collected
Define fractional distillation
Used to seperate liquids with different boiling points
The liquid with the lowest boiling point is collected first
Makes use of fractionating column and condenser
