Revision Flashcards
Mixture
A mixture is when two elements are bonded non-chemically
Why would we separate mixtures?
To find criminals, get pure water.etc
What is the difference between solution and solubility?
A solution is a mixture of a solid and a liquid after it has dissolved. Solubility is how much a medium can dissolve
What is filtration?
Filtration is when you have a mixture of a solid and a liquid, you use the filter paper to separate these by poring the mixture through the paper, the paper allows the liquid the pass through, but leaves the solid behind.
What is evaporation?
Evaporation is a separating technique in which two liquid are bonded, you heat them and the liquid with a lower melting point evaporates leaving the other liquid.
What is distillation ?
Distilation is a separating technique in which two liquid are bonded, you heat them and the liquid with a lower melting point evaporates leaving the other liquid, then this liquid will be condensed by a condenser and drip out the other end pure.
What is chromatography?
Chromatography is a separating technique in which you find the true colours in ink. It works by putting a sheet of chromatography paper on a stick, dabbing some ink on it and lowering it into a beaker of water. The water rises up the paper and spreads out the ink and reveals its colours.
How do we decide which technique to use?
We can decide which technique to use by seeing the state of matter of the mixture.e.g solid and liquid=filtration
