Procedures in chemistry Flashcards
Memorize
most common stationary phases for a TLC
Silica gel and alumina
Fractional crystallization
refining substances based on differences in solubility
Aqueous solution
water that contains one or more dissolved substance
Formula for retention factor (Rf)
distance traveled by sample/distance traveled by solvent
Homogenous solution
solutions with the same chemical makeup and properties throughout the solution
Thin layer chromatography (TLC)
A special type of chromatography that uses a glass plate coated in silica gel as a stationary phase instead of a cellulose filter
Seperation
Separatory funnel, different densities
Heterogenous solution
solutions with different chemical makeup and properties throughout the solution
Distillation
separation of two chemicals with two different boiling points
Paper chromatography
separates components in solutions using a cellulose filter stationary phase that acts as a constraint on the parts of the solution, which staggers the speed that they float to the top of the type of solution in a mobile phase
