Q

Outline the method for chromatography

A
  • draw a pencil line at the bottom of the paper using a ruler
  • create dots of ink along the pencil line
  • curl the paper into a cylinder (with the pencil line at the bottom) and fasten with a paper clip at the top
  • add a small amount of water to a beaker
  • stand the cylinder with the pencil line at the bottom in the baker making sure the water level is below the pencil line
  • leave until the solvent front approaches the top of the paper- remove the chromatogram
  • mark the solvent front and leave to dry

Q

When carrying out chromatography, why must the water level be below the pencil line (base line)?

A

Otherwise the ink samples would dissolve into the water and would not travel up the paper. You want the water to move up the paper- taking the ink with it.

Q

What is the formula for finding the Rf value of an pigment in chromatography?

A

Rf= distance pigment moved from base line / distance solvent moved from base line

Remember your Rf values will always be less than 1.

You are using a ruler so you must measure to a mm. It is best to record the distance in mm to avoid any mistakes.

Q

When Alex carried out chromatography, none of his ink samples moved from the base line. What could Alex do to get the ink to move from the base line so that he can compare the ink samples?

A

The ink samples are not soluble in that solvent. Alex should change the solvent.

Q

Amelie noticed that one sample of ink did not separate into different spots as it travelled up the chromatography paper, but it stayed as one spot. What can Amelie conclude about that sample of ink?

A

That sample of ink is soluble in water but is a pure sample with only one pigment. It is not a mixture of two pigments.

Q

Amelia noticed that one sample of ink separated into two different spots as it travelled up the chromatography paper, with one dot travelling further than the other. What can Amelia conclude about that sample of ink?

A

That sample of ink is soluble in water but is a mixture of two pigments. It is not pure, not one pigment.

Note: One pigment is more soluble than the other and travels further up the paper.

Q

In chromatography, what is the relationship between solubility of a pigment and its Rf value?

A

The more soluble a pigment is the further it travels up the paper, the larger the Rf value.

note: an Rf value can never be larger than 1

Q

In filtration, what is the name of the substance which is trapped in the filter paper?

A

The residue

22
Q

In fitration, what is the name of the substance which passes through the filter paper.

A

The filtrate

23
Q

Which method below would separate water from salt?

filtration

chromatography

simple distllation

fractional distillation

evaporation

A

simple distillation

The water would evaporate and then condense in the Leibig condenser, dripping out the end as the distillate

24
Q

Which method below would separate salt from seawater?

filtration

chromatography

simple distllation

fractional distillation

evaporation

A

evaporation

when heated, the water evaporates leaving the salt crystal behind.

25
Q

Which method below would separate alcohol from water?

filtration

chromatography

simple distllation

fractional distillation

evaporation

A

Fractional distillation

The fractionating column contains glass beads which gives the inside of the column a very large surface area. If the temperature near the condenser is kept at 78 degrees (the boiling point of alcohol) alcohol and some water will evaporate from the solution and travel up the column. The large surface area allows the water to condense on the glass beads and drips back into the flask. Only the alcohol enters the condenser and dripps out the end as a pure alcohol distillate

26
Q

Which method below would separate an insoluble salt from water?

filtration

chromatography

simple distllation

fractional distillation

evaporation

A

filtration

The insoluble salt is solid and is caught in the filter paper as the residue.

Note: it is best to wash the insoluble salt with distilled water to make a pure sample

28
Q

Which method below would separate an ink sample?

filtration

chromatography

simple distllation

fractional distillation

evaporation

A

Chromatography

The most soluble pigment will travel the furthest up the chromatography paper.

29
Q

Which method below would separate soluble salt from water?

filtration

chromatography

simple distllation

fractional distillation

evaporation

A

Evaporation

The salt is soluble, so filtration will not work. You must heat the solution and evaporate the water, leaving the salt behind

30
Q

Which piece of equipment is used to separate two immiscible liquids?

A

Separating funnel

The less dense liquid will sit on top of the more dense liquid. When the layers have time to fully separate, the tap is open at the bottom of the funnel and the more dense liquid pours out.

31
Q

Define a solvent

A

A liquid which dissolves a solute

32
Q

Define a solute

A

A solid which dissolves in a solvent

33
Q

A

filter funnel

filter paper

beaker

36
Q

How would you obtain pure salt from rock salt?

A
  1. grind rock salt in a pestle and mortar
  2. add water and stir to dissolve salt
  3. fold filter paper and place in filter funnel
  4. place filter funnel in beaker
  5. pour solution into filter paper in parts- make sure to keep level of solution below edge of filter paper.
  6. collect filtrate in beaker
  7. Set-up evaporating basin over Bunsen burner using a tripod and gauze.
  8. Pour filtrate in evaporating basin
  9. Heat solution on medium flame until half volume
  10. Leave solution to crystallise
  11. Filter out crystals
  12. Leave crystals to dry in warm place
37
Q

How is mass of solute which dissolves related to the volume of solvent?

A

As the volume of solvent doubles, the mass of solute which dissolves doubles. They are proportional?

38
Q

In chromatography, if a pigment or ink is not soluble in a solvent what would you observe?

A

The pigment would not move from the base line. Rf value would be zero.
