Science - Separating mixtures, chromatography & gas testas Flashcards
Solute
Substance that dissolves
solvent
liquid that dissolves a substance
Filtration
separating an insoluble solid from a liquid
distillation
separating a solvent from a solution
What are the steps of chromatography
- Draw a line using pencil on chromatography paper
- mark your sample (inks)
- clip paper hanging from top
- put on lid to reduce evapouration of solvent
what mistakes should you avoid in chromatography and why?
- drawing the line with pen - it will dissolve in the solvent (affecting the results)
- putting the solvent above the ink - it will be dissolved
What is the independant variable in chromatography?
Solvent
What is the dependant variable in chromotography?
Distance the pigments moved
Control variables in chromotography
temperature, solvent volume
Chromotogram
shows results of separated components of mixture
chromotography
method used to separate mixtures into their different chemicals based on solubility
solvent front
maximum distance solvent moves up paper
stationary phase
medium which mobile phase passes through
mobile phase
solvent that carries the sample
what is the equation for the rf value?
distance moved by substance/ solvent
