How does liquid get to solid?

A

Freezing

19
Q

Heating curve

A

How the temperature changes, as a substance is heated up

20
Q

Separtating insoluble solids from a liquid

A

Filteration

21
Q

Separating soluble solid from liquid

A

Evaporation

22
Q

3 processes in Distillation

A
  • evaporating
  • condensing
  • collecting
23
Q

What is chromatography used for

A

To separate substances, distinguish pure/impure substances

24
Q

Why does the mixture get separated?

A

The more soluble substances in the mixture spread along the papaer faster. The father of the dye travels up the chromatogram the more soluble it is 

25
Q

How do you identify substances

A

By calculating the Rf value

26
Q

What is the RF value

A

Ratio compared to how far the component has travelled / how far the solvent have travelled

27
Q

What does the RF value always have

A

No units
Less than one

28
Q

What if there is one colour

A

Its a pure substance

29
Q

Solvent front

A

The furthest point in which the water has risen up the chromatogram

30
Q

How do you calculate the Rf value

A

Can you measure the distance from the baseline to the solvent front – seeing how soluble the dyes are
