Midterm 1-5 Chem 212 Flashcards
Consists of a combination of two or more substances
Mixture
A mixture containing three components
Ternary
Utilizes differences in physical properties (solubility, boiling point) for separating mixtures
Physical method
Utilizes differences in chemical reactivity for separating mixtures
Chemical method
Separate the solid from a liquid
Decant
The liquid portion you decanted from the mixture
Supernatant
The mixture is poured through a porous material, such as filter paper
Filtration
Liquid portion passes through the filer paper
Filtrate
Is performed using a filtering funnel, gravity draws the liquid through filter paper which is placed in the funnel
Gravity filtration
Applied vacuum is used to draw the liquid through filer paper which is held in a Büchner funnel
Vacuum filtration
The liquid component is removed while the solid component will remain in the container
Evaporation
Separating two solids by adding a solvent in which only one solid component will dissolve
Extraction
Any substance, as cloth paper, through which liquid or gas is passed to remove suspended impurities or to recover solids
Filter (verb)
The composition of a compound is represented, very important and useful information
Chemical formula
Indicates the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule or formula unit of the compound
Molecular formula
