Gases and Chemical Experiments Flashcards
What is diffusion?
The random spreading out of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
When will a gas travel slower than another gas?
When it is heavier than the other gas
What makes a gas travel faster?
Temperature increase
What are the transitions between states of matter called (solids, liquids, gases)
Solid -> Liquid: Melting
Liquid -> Gas: Evaporation
Gas -> Liquid: Condensation
Liquid -> Solid: Freezing
Solid -> Gas: Sublimation
Gas -> Solid: Deposition
- What is the solubility of a solid?
- What is a saturated solution?
- The maximum mass of solid that dissolves in 100g of solvent at a particular temperature
- A saturated solution is a solution that contains the maximum mass of dissolved solid at a particular temperature.
What happens to the solubility as the temperature increases?
The higher the temperature the more mass dissolved before a saturated solution
What is are immiscible liquids?
Liquids that do not mix together
What separation technique is used to separate immiscible liquids?
A seperating funnel/ Decanting (A flask/holder with a tap at the bottom)
What separation technique is used to separate an insoluble solid.
Filtration (Filter paper)
What separation technique is used to separate a solute from a solution?
Crystallisation (Evaporation)
What separation technique is used to separate a liquid from a solution?
Simple distillation
What seperation technique is used to separate a liquid from a solution when they have similar boiling points?
Fractional distillation
- What is the tube used to cool a liquid in simple distillation called?
- What is the tube used to cool a liquid in fractional distillation called? What is the tube the liquid travel up called?
- A leibig condenser
- A condenser, A fractionating column
How do you calculate Rf (Chromotography)
Rf = Distance travelled by sample / Distance travelled by solvent
- What is the solute?
- What is the solvent?
- What is the solution?
- The thing dissolving
- The thing that dissolves it
- The solute and solvent mixture
