Q

Crystallisation

A

Separation of soluble solid from solution (often used when making crystals with a solution where the solvent is water)
Solution is left in a warm place to evaporate slowly . When solution becomes saturated , crystals appear, which are said to be hydrated.

Q

Explain how simple distillation works

A

A flask containing the solution is heated. As the solvent evaporates , the vapor goes into the condenser. The condensor cools the vapor into liquid and this liquid drips into the beaker.

Q

explain how fractional distallation works

A
  • mixture is heated to (lower boiling point)
  • liquid with lower boiling point evaporates first
  • condenses in the condesor

24
Q

how does a separating funnel work

A

the liquid of higher density is placed under a liquid of lower density. you open the hole and the liquid of higher density (eg water) flows out first. you then switch beakers and drain the remaining liquid of lower density (eg parafin)

25
Q

what is chromatography used for

A

separate several solids that are all soluble in the same solvent

26
Q

how does chromatography work

A

the pigment is placed near the bottom of the chromatography paper and placed in the solvent (such as water). the pigment moves up the paper at different rates due to levels of solubility.

27
Q

the more soluble the pigment is..

A

the higher it’ll be on the paper / the faster it’ll move up the paper

28
Q

the less soluble the pigment is…

A

the lower it’ll be on the paper / the slower it’ll move up the paper

29
Q

solvent ________ phase

A

mobile

30
Q

paper ________ phase

A

stationary

31
Q

solvent front

A

highest point reached by solvent

32
Q

start point

A

where spot is originally placed

33
Q

why is the start point marked in pencil and not pen

A

so the ink from the pen doesn’t run along the rest of the spots

34
Q

why are spots often labelled at the start

A

the colors can greatly change so you should still be able to tell them apart

35
Q

why must the water level be below the spots

A

so the spots don’t just dissolve into the liquid in the beaker

36
Q

what are Rf values used for

A

to identify different substances

37
Q

formula for Rf

A

distance moved by pigment (measured from centre of spot) / distance moved from start line to solvent front

38
Q

how do you tell if two dyes are the same

A

if they moved the same amount

39
Q

how can you tell the number of original dyes in the sample

A

number of spots above starting point

40
Q

decanting

A

Insoluble solid from a liquid + liquid from an insoluble solid

41
Q

why do we treat water

A

so it is drinkable

42
Q

potable water =

A

water that is safe to drink

43
Q

why do we treat water (what to remove)

A

remove insoluble solids and harmful bacteria

44
Q

why is treated water not pure

A

pure water is just hydrogen and oxygen. treated water contains minerals needed for health

45
Q

3 steps of water treatment

A

sedimentation
filtration
sterilization

46
Q

what happens during sedimentation

A

water is left to be still in a tank
insoluble solids settle to the bottom
water is removed from higher up the tank

47
Q

what happens during filtration in water treatment

A

sand filters remove smaller particles of insoluble solids

48
Q

what happens during sterilization

A

chlorine is added to kill bacteria. ozone and uv lights can also be used.

49
Q

treatment of sea water

A
  • cannot use og method because contains too many dissolved particles
  • use distillation or reverse osmosis
50
Q

reverse osmosis

A
  • applying pressure to untreated salt water, it is forced through a semi permeable membrane which only allows water molecules through the other side
51
Q

why is producing drinking water from sea water more expensive

A

high energy

52
Q

equation for anhydrous copper sulfate to hydrated copper sulfate

A

CuSO4 + 5h2O —> CusO4 . 5h2O

53
Q

why is distilled water used in experiments

A

dissolved particles in tap water may react

54
Q

test for chlorine

A

damp blue litmus paper goes red and then bleaches

55
Q

separate a mixture of insoluble solid and soluble solid

A
  • add water
  • filter for insoluble solid
  • evaporate for soluble solid
56
Q

what does it mean if the spot has moved less up the paper

A

it spent more time in the stationary phase and is more attracted to the paper

57
Q

what can be used to measure volume of sea water

A

measuring cylinder

58
Q

why is it more difficult to produce drinking water from waste water than from water in lakes

A
  • more microbes
  • more toxic chemicals
  • more organic matter
59
Q

how could water be tested to make sure its pure

A

boiling point of 100 and freezing point of 0
