Ar explanation
The average mass of an atom of an element compared to 1/12th of a C-12 atom
Why is chromatography used
To separate mixtures of substances that are soluble in the same solvent
What’s good about GCMS
Rapid
Accurate
Tiny amounts-sensitive
How GCMS works
Diff substances are carried by a gas through a column packed with solid material.
Travel at diff speeds - separate
Enter detector at diff times
Where is molecular ion peak
Furthest to the right.
Group 1 metal + water
G1M hydroxide + hydrogen
3 points of transition metals
Can have diff charges
Salts are diff colours
Useful catalysts
3 methods of removing water hardness
Boiling temp hard
Adding sodium carbonate
Ion exchange resin
What happens when temp hard water is boiled?
Temp contains HCO3 which decomposes
2HCO3 > CO32- + CO2 + H2O
CO32- ions react with calcium and magnesium to make CaCO3 and MgCO3 limescale
Adding sodium carbonate?
Na2CO3 react with Ca and Mg to make precipitates CaCO3 and MgCO3
Water purification summary
Water passes through screens-remove debris
•sedimentation in settlement tank -sand and oil out
•flocculation as aluminium sulfate makes particles of dirt clump together and settle
•filtration
•chlorine to killlbacteria
•fluorides tooth decay reduction
