Experimental techniques C2 Flashcards
dependent variable
reflects on the changes we make
independent variable
constant, what we change
precise results
values are close together (close to one point)
SI units
standard units to measure
control variable
variables where needed to be controlled to make a fair practical
accurate results
close to actual value (middle of target)
filterations
separate insoluble solid form liquid
mixture
substances mixed, but not chemically joined
evaporation
separate soluble solid from liquid
pure
only have one substance present
imoure
have more than one substance
differences shown in graphs : pure impure
pure has straight line when changes state, impure has a slant when changes state.
due to the differences in melting points between the substances
crystal
small, regularly shaped solids that reflect light
crystalasation
substance forming a crystal
distillation
separation of liquids and soluble solids using boiling
fractional distillation
separating 2 or more different liquids by boiling in a certain temperature letting 1 liquid to serparate
chromotography
separate small quantities of substances from a solution
explain mobile phase and stationary phase
stationary phase : doesn’t move ex. paper
mobile phase : moves the solvent ex. water
Rf value
Rf = distance moved by spot (substance that is measured) from base line / distance moved by solvent (water, mobile phase) from base line
