Filtration And Crystallisation Flashcards
Filtration
A separation technique that separates an insoluble solid from a liquid
Crystallisation
Separates a soluble solid solute from a solution
Solvent
The substance that it dissolves in
Solute
The substance that dissolves
Solution
Formed when one substance dissolves in another
Soluble
A substance that is dissolvable
Insoluble
A substance that cannot dissolve
Filtrate
The liquid that has passed through the filter
Residue
The remaining of something
Simple Distillation
Separates a liquid (the solvent) from the solution it is part of
What are the three steps of Distillation?
- Evaporation
- Cooling
- Condensation
Chromatography
A technique used so separate mixtures of soluble substances
Chromatography relies on different phases:
- A stationary phase that does not move (solvent)
- A mobile phase that does move(solute)
Rf values
Distance of component/distance of solvent
Thin-layer chromatography
The same technique as paper chromatography except the process continues with a thin sheet of glass or plastic layer of silicon or aluminium powder
